Cocaine Dealer Gets 4 Year Prison Sentence
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced the sentencing of a Miami-Dade County man who pled guilty to cocaine trafficking. Arnaldo Gonzalez Rondon was sentenced to more than four years in prison, a sentence which includes a three-year minimum mandatory term. He was prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution.
Rondon, 44, was arrested in January 2006 after undercover investigators purchased almost two ounces of cocaine, worth more than $1,800, from him during a controlled buy in Naples. The buy was arranged through a co-conspirator, Jose Diaz, of Collier County. Diaz told the undercover officers that Rondon, aka “Gordo,” was his partner from Miami, and the person who actually had the cocaine for sale. Diaz was also arrested in January 2006 for participating in the buy, and has since pled guilty and been sentenced to three years in prison. The investigation and arrest were conducted by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.
Rondon pled guilty to one count of trafficking in cocaine, 28 grams or more, a first-degree felony. In addition to his 50-month prison sentence, Rondon was ordered to pay $50,000 in fines and investigative costs. The sentence was handed down by 20th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Franklin G. Baker.
