A Bitter Pill??

Mule had 91 heroin pellets

It's being called one of the biggest drug busts ever at Detroit's airport, and it happened inside of a person.

A woman was arrested after allegedly swallowing 91 packets of heroin.

It happened Sunday when Customs and Border Protection officials stopped the Nigerian woman who was arriving from Germany.

Officials say the 32-year-old told them she'd swallowed narcotics, but didn't know how much or what kind they were.

The woman was taken to the hospital. Doctors removed more than two pounds in heroin from her.

The drugs are worth an estimated $125,000.

Officials are investigating the incident.
