Officer D'Esposito

**Officer D'Esposito** is a desk officer for the Drug Enforcement Agency.

## History

Officer D'Esposito was working the desk at the DEA field office when Sandra Bell came in looking for a suspect who was arrested, but wasn't processed. He was reluctant to help her, but was ultimately convinced to look and told her he was put into holding room three. He assumed he was gone or they'd have his stuff. He opened the locker where his things were stored and found them still there, alarming them. He rushed to the holding cell, where they found Brian Torres bleeding and nearly dead after spending four days in there with no food or water.

## Career

He works for the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Rodrigo Puente

**Rodrigo Puente** is a man who was arrested with a backpack that had meth.

## History

Rodrigo was paid $100 to deliver a package. He threw it into his backpack and jumped a turnstile, which got him arrested. The package contained 57 grams of meth, which surpassed the 50 gram threshold for a mandatory ten-year sentence. When Rodrigo met with his lawyer, Jay, about the case, he said he was just trying to provide for his kid and didn't know what was in the package. He didn't ask. Because of his prior convictions for shoplifting and driving with a suspended license, he wasn't eligible for the safety valve that would nullify the mandatory ten-year minimum sentence. Despite the best efforts of Nicholas Byrne, the trial continued and Rodrigo was found guilty. Byrne gave a speech in which he stated his opposition to the mandatory minimum, which he ended by sentencing Rodrigo to ten years in prison.

## Relationships

### Familial

His son was six months old when he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
