Pizarro was taken into custody by members of the Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team or UDEST in November 2015 during a traffic stop in the 10600 block of Southwest 27th Avenue. Agents recovered heroin in a vehicle. They said the narcotic was being transported from Kissimmee to Marion County.
Released hours after his arrest, Pizarro has been out on bail ever since. When she asked why the case has languished for nearly six years, the defense told the judge that the case against the others connected to the bust was ongoing.
The lead defendant in the case, Luis Rodriguez, was sentenced a few months ago to a 15-year prison term. The case against the second person, William Rodriguez, who is Pizarro's son, is ongoing.
