Cocaine trafficker, Baldomero Alanis Jr., has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was also ordered to pay a $250,000 fine and all court costs. He was arrested during a NETFORCE operation and convicted of Trafficking in Cocaine (400 Grams or More).
Assistant State Attorney Kate Rumley, Chief of Narcotics, prosecuted the case.
The defendant was part of a drug smuggling operation involved in bringing cocaine from Texas to Southwest Florida. The defendant pretended to be operating a shipping company that delivered fruit and other commodities but instead used a semi to drive kilos of cocaine to Florida.
The extensive investigation was handled by the many law enforcement partners that make up NETFORCE which include local, state, and federal agencies.
NETFORCE was formed by State Attorney Amira Fox in conjunction with law enforcement agency partners, to coordinate a circuit-wide approach to infiltrating and dismantling drug trafficking organizations, organized crime, racketeering, and money-laundering enterprises in Southwest Florida.
