2 women arrested in Peru in drug trafficking case to appear in court August 14, 2013 -- Updated 0712 GMT (1512 HKT) The two women ages 19 and 20 were arrested at an airport in Lima One of the suspects, Melissa Reid, says she was made to carry the bags Archbishop says the two are being treated well in detention (CNN) -- A Scottish and an Irish woman arrested in Peru on suspicion of drug trafficking are expected to appear before a judge Wednesday. Melissa Reid, 19, from Scotland, and Michaella McCollum, 20, from Ireland, were arrested by Peruvian national police at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima on August 6. "I was forced to take these bags in my luggage," Reid said in video footage of the police interrogation. But the tourism was cover for a plan to smuggle the drugs, police said. Archbishop of Lima Sean Walsh, an Irish-American bishop who's been in Peru for seven years, said he met briefly with the young women in the police cell where they are being held. Walsh is not aware whether they have an attorney. The court system in Peru provides a public defender, but they may try to hire private defense lawyers, he added. Peru is now the world's top cultivator of coca, the plant whose leaves are used to produce cocaine. It overtook Colombia for the dubious honor.
