San Antonio Woman Sentenced for Cocaine Trafficking
In an unsettling yet enlightening tale from the heart of San Antonio, a woman has received a significant prison sentence for her involvement in cocaine trafficking. Gisselle Cabrera Rodriguez, a 25-year-old resident, has been sentenced to over four years behind bars for her illicit activities, as announced by the Department of Justice on April 24, 2025.
How It All Unfolded
The saga began not too long ago, on February 6, 2024, when Rodriguez was unfairly pulled over by deputies from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. The reason for the stop was a series of traffic violations; it’s astounding how a routine traffic stop can pivot into a major drug trafficking case! During this seemingly mundane encounter, deputies made a startling discovery. They found 1.2 kilograms (which is about 2.6 pounds) of cocaine tucked away in the front passenger compartment of her vehicle. This surprising find led to her arrest right on the spot.
Digging Deeper
As if things couldn’t get more intense, the story took another turn when authorities executed a federal search warrant at Rodriguez’s residence. What they discovered there was truly shocking! An additional 2.3 kilograms (or roughly 5 pounds) of neatly packaged cocaine was seized, along with a whopping $45,700 in cash. It was a real eye-opener, showing the scale of her operations.
Admitting the Truth
After her arrest, Rodriguez faced the music and made a startling admission regarding her activities. She confessed to trafficking at least 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds) of cocaine each week for about five to six months before her arrest. That’s no small potatoes! The cash found in her home was indeed confirmed to be the proceeds from this drug trafficking business, painting a clearer picture of the financial stakes involved.
