Overview

• Florida resident Alison Dominguez filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida alleging an American Airlines employee in Nassau checked a drug‑filled bag in her name.
• She was arrested in April over more than 100 bottles of codeine but was later cleared when records showed she had not checked any luggage and the bag was processed before she arrived at the airport.
• The suit says conspirators exploited U.S. Customs pre‑clearance in Nassau so an accomplice could collect the luggage from domestic baggage claim in the United States.
• Dominguez alleges she endured nearly a week in jail under degrading conditions and argues the airline reported her to authorities without first verifying its own baggage data.
• American Airlines has not provided a public response to media inquiries, and the allegations are now before the court in active litigation.
