The source said Charles Taylor was busted by security agents at the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport at the last checkpoint before he could board a Delta Airline.

Ras Bobo allegedly concealed the whitish substance weighing 15.5 grams in both sides of a briefcase he was carrying, the report further stated.

However, after he was arrested, Charles Taylor said he was travelling back to the United States after he had finished performing on his dubbed concert in Mexico, Pachuca.

He further explained that because the trip was for just a few days he decided not to travel with heavy luggage and therefore bought the briefcase at Pachuca, from roaming vendors.

Taylor said he did not know the briefcase contained the substance but however, investigations about the briefcase and its whitish substance are still underway.
