They had arrived on a plane chartered from Van Nuys, Calif.
Lee told authorities that her companions were her secretary and two bodyguards. Marotta says those three have been released pending possible indictments.
Lee has been charged with conspiracy and possession of drugs with the intent to distribute. She's being held without bail. Her attorneys did not immediately return a message left Wednesday.
