Former UTSA lecturer sentenced to five years in prison
September 28, 2021
After almost two years, Rose Rodriguez-Rabin, who was charged with manufacturing and distributing counterfeit Adderall pills, was sentenced to 60 months in prison with three years of supervised release.
After her arrest, Rodriguez-Rabin pled not guilty to charges against her after allegedly taking part in the manufacturing and distribution of methamphetamine. Since her detention, Rodriguez-Rabin has submitted an Order of Referral that signaled a change from a not guilty to a guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime.
A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) sting operation in December 2019 revealed Rodriguez-Rabin was accused of manufacturing and distributing 1,000 counterfeit Adderall pills.
A DEA confidential source arranged a meeting with Rodriguez-Rabin, who used the alias “Irene Adler.” She sold 1,000 Adderall pills, totaling 680.8 grams for $3,300. Not long after the exchange and the identification of Rodriguez-Rabin, Task Force Officer Ronald Enriquez filed a federal criminal complaint which was then approved by U.S Magistrate Judge Mark Lane for further investigation.
