SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 13 – Pedro Rosario
Carrasquillo was charged in a
narcotics conspiracy, meth and
heroin in
Manhattan.
On January 13, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Lewis J. Liman held a charge
of plea proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
The
defendant was caught by Balu,
a German shepherd certified as
a narcotics-detection canine
to detect marijuana, cocaine,
heroin, MDMA and meth.
Judge
Liman told the defendant there
is the possibility of a
maximum of 20 years.
In the same case,
on July 14, 2022 Judge Liman
sentenced the lead defendant
to 17 years: "JEREMY
ORTIZ-MOLINA was sentenced to
204 months in prison today for
leading a conspiracy to
traffic eight kilograms of
methamphetamine to New York
City. U.S. District
Judge Lewis J. Liman imposed
today’s sentence."
The case is US v.
Ortiz-Molina et al., 21-cr-173
