From April 2024 to June 2024, undercover cocaine drug deals occurred in the parking lot of Compare Foods. Geraldo is accused of selling trafficking quantities of cocaine to Detective Rodriguez and Detective J. Morales at the grocery store, around $5,000 of fish scale cocaine totaling several ounces. Fish scale cocaine is the purest form and most potent cocaine on the market, straight from the nation of Columbia. Detective Rodriguez is known for being an undercover cop making drug deals with alleged cocaine dealers and then arresting them.
But the big deal was on June 7, 2024 at Compare Foods. Detective Rodriguez arranged a controlled cocaine purchase for nine ounces of cocaine worth $8,000.
Geraldo allegedly agreed to conduct the narcotic deal and set the deal location to take place at the Compare Foods located on Freedom Drive.
At approximately 5:57 pm Geraldo arrived at the deal location, cops say. Detective Rodriguez met the suspect by the driver door of a vehicle.
Geraldo allegedly handed Detective Rodriguez 9 ounces of cocaine inside a GNC vitamin box. Detective Rodriguez did not give Geraldo the $8,000.
At that moment members of the police drug team moved in and arrested Geraldo. The suspect was charged with several counts of trafficking cocaine.
