San Antonio, Texas – In a shocking turn of events, a San Antonio woman was sentenced to 50 months in prison for her involvement in a cocaine trafficking operation. Gisselle Cabrera Rodriguez, 25, was found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kgs or more of cocaine.

According to court documents, Rodriguez was pulled over by Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputies on February 6, 2024, for committing multiple traffic violations. A search of her vehicle resulted in the discovery of 1.2 kgs of cocaine located in the front passenger compartment. Two cell phones were also seized in the search.

Following the arrest, a federal search warrant was executed on Rodriguez’s residence, leading to the discovery of another 2.3 kgs of cocaine packaged in two bundles. Agents also located $45,700 in cash, which was determined to be proceeds from Rodriguez’s drug trafficking activity.

Rodriguez also admitted to trafficking at least five kgs of cocaine per week during the five to six months leading up to her arrest. The revelation has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the devastating impact of cocaine trafficking on families and individuals.

The case was investigated by the FBI with valuable assistance from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office and the San Antonio Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Fedock prosecuted the case.

As part of her sentence, Rodriguez was ordered to forfeit the $45,700 located in the search warrant. The forfeiture is a significant blow to Rodriguez, who had been using the proceeds from her cocaine trafficking operation to support her lifestyle.

The sentence sends a clear message that cocaine trafficking will not be tolerated in our community. The authorities will continue to work tirelessly to dismantle trafficking operations and bring those involved to justice.
