SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — An American singer suspected of trying to smuggle cocaine in his stomach was detained as he tried to board a U.S.-bound flight at a Dominican airport, authorities said Tuesday.
Ramon Alcides Rodriguez, spokesman of the country’s drug-control agency, said that New York-born bachata singer Jimmy Bauer became sick at Santo Domingo’s international airport on Monday when a couple of the 88 pellets of cocaine he had swallowed apparently burst.
