Man caught with cocaine after telling airport inspectors he was carrying 'cooked rabbit' in luggage

A Yankee Stadium security guard claimed he was carrying a "cooked rabbit" in his luggage - but airport inspectors found three bricks of cocaine, officials said Monday.

Roger Levans of Queens got off a Delta Airlines flight from Georgetown, Guyana, on Dec. 29, and wrote on a Customs declaration that he was carrying food items, according to a criminal complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

"Levans was asked what kind of food items he was carrying, to which he responded 'cooked rabbit,'" Homeland Security special agent Noah Abbott said in the complaint.
