Mackenzie Phillips, mug shot above, was busted for drug possession at LAX. As you can see in the pictures, she had three balloons police say contained heroin, and 34 syringes.

Phillips almost didn’t get caught. When she went through the metal detector the alarm went off, so TSA patted her down, but she became uncooperative, so they had her sit down in chair. That’s when some balloons, and baggies fell out of her pant leg onto the floor.

Getting caught was for the best, maybe now she can get some help.

At 10:00 AM, officers responded to Terminal 4 in LAX, where 48-year-old Mackenzie Phillips was being screened by TSA. During the screening process, some baggies and balloons believed to contain heroin and cocaine were recovered. Phillips was arrested, and taken into custody.

Phillips has a long history of drug abuse. She needs to go directly to rehab.
