Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura on the iconic sci-fi show, was detained at LA Airport after law enforcement officials allegedly caught the 81-year-old’s travel companion with drugs in his luggage, reports TMZ.

Authorities discovered “meth and drug scales” after the companion’s suitcase spilled open in the American Airlines terminal, the website reported.

The companion’s luggage, which had Nichelle Nichols’ luggage tags on it, was reportedly attached to the actress’ bags.
