U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton has sentenced Orlando Rosa-Rodriguez, 59, of Orlando, to five years and ten months in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and money laundering. Rodriguez was also ordered to forfeit two vehicles that were purchased with proceeds from the offense. He pleaded guilty on February 24, 2025.
According to court documents, Rodriguez was part of a drug trafficking ring that distributed counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, commonly known as “fenta-pills.” Co-defendants Jayson Perez-Quinones, 48, of Orlando, and Jovan Rivera Rodriguez, 36, of Kissimmee, arranged for large shipments of the pills. At a residence in Orlando, Perez-Quinones and co-defendant Karen AltaGracia Perez, 44, repackaged the pills into smaller bags for street distribution.
Perez-Quinones and Perez supplied mid-level dealers, including Rodriguez, who distributed the pills to customers — including in the parking lot of his workplace at the U.S. Postal Service. Over a 20-month period, Rodriguez earned more than $300,000 from drug sales, in addition to his USPS salary and VA disability benefits. He used the proceeds to purchase luxury vehicles including a Corvette (approx. $80,000), a Porsche 911 Carrera Coup (approx. $92,000), and a Porsche 718 Cayman Coup (approx. $120,000).
Co-defendant AltaGracia Perez was sentenced on June 13, 2023, to five years and six months in prison. On August 8, 2023, Perez-Quinones received a 15-year sentence, while Rivera Rodriguez was sentenced to five years.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation, with assistance from the Orlando Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Dana E. Hill.
