Mackenzie Phillips, was released on $10,000 bail following her arrest at the Los Angeles airport on Wednesday. Phillips was headed to New York when she failed to pass a security screening. The secondary screening then revealed that the former actress was carrying on her a small amount of heroin and cocaine.The photos show three balloons and three small Ziplock bags which cops say contained heroin and cocaine. There is also a pic of 34 syringes, her mugshot and her driver’s license. Apparently when Mackenzie went through the metal detector, the alarm went off because of a metal object. The TSA initially did not suspect drugs. TSA employees then began to pat her down — which is routine — and she became uncooperative. They asked her to sit, and that’s when we’re told the balloons and baggies fell from her waistband through her pant leg and onto the floor. At that point, MacKenzie knew she was caught and said so to folks at TSA.
