Agricultural officials with Customs and Border Protection seized a Fauquier County woman’s unusual souvenirs, zebra and giraffe bones from Kenya, at Dulles International Airport last month, the agency announced Friday.
Upon her arrival at Dulles on Nov. 10, the unnamed woman initially claimed that she was bringing a twig from an Acacia tree, but a secondary baggage examination uncovered giraffe and zebra bones she had also brought with her from Kenya.
The Fauquier County resident then amended her customs declaration and was let go — without the bones. The woman does not face any criminal charges.
