Harry Agustin Duncan Maslivar, the winner of the male beauty pageant title of Mr. Panama 2004, looks pretty good in black and white stripped swim trunks. He probably won’t looks quite as good in black and white stripped prison garb though. That’s what he’s facing after being popped for trying to smuggle cocaine into America through Miami International Airport.
Since winning the title back in 2004, Duncan apparently traded in his Speedo for an airline uniform and was working as a flight attendant for Copa Airlines. Apparently that wasn’t enough, because he was doing duel work as a drug mule.
According to the Miami Herald, authorities found a “white powdery substance” inside the lining of his suitcase after he got off a March 12 flight from Panama. Turns out it was 4.3 kilos of cocaine.
Duncan said he was recruited by another flight attendant and was supposed to meet him later at a Hilton hotel. Duncan said he was to be paid $5,000 Panamanian for his services.
