A Davenport man, identified as 39-year-old Alexis Irnel Cintron Victoria also known by the moniker "Gordo," has been indicted on charges of possessing with the intent to distribute a substantial amount of cocaine, specifically more than half a kilogram, according to a recent announcement from United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe.
The charges against Cintron Victoria could land him a significant stint behind bars, with a potential sentence raging from a minimum of five years to a maximum of 40 years in prison if he is convicted; additionally, the indictment includes a forfeiture clause targeting any assets linked to the alleged drug distribution crime. During a routine traffic stop on November 6 by the Lakeland Police Department, a police K-9 signaled the discovery of narcotics in Cintron's vehicle, which led to the uncovering of a brick-like package of cocaine cleverly hidden under a false compartment within the vehicle's center console it tested positive for cocaine confirming the dog's alert.
An indictment is not a conviction but rather a formal accusation, and under the law, Cintron Victoria maintains the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. The U.S. Attorney's Office stated that the case is the result of collaborative investigative efforts by the Drug Enforcement Administration and was supported by both the Sarasota Police Department and the Lakeland Police Department, with Assistant United States Attorney Jeff Chang prosecuting the case.
