Jose I. Irizarry, 46, had pleaded guilty in September to all 19 counts of an indictment that included conspiracy to commit money laundering, honest services wire fraud, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

In return, Irizarry received bribes and kickbacks worth at least $1 million for himself and his family, which was used to purchase jewelry, luxury cars, and a home. To carry out the scheme, Irizarry and his co-conspirators used a stolen identity to open a bank account under false pretenses and then utilized the account to receive diverted drug proceeds.

Then-Deputy Richard Charles Barrios III was on patrol in November 2019 when he stopped a woman for an alleged traffic violation and suspected she was under the influence of meth. She vehemently denied it, and Barrios then told her if she provided a urine sample at a nearby police station and tested negative, he would apologize and drive her back to her car. But after viewing the test results, Barrios threw the test kit in the garbage and refused to tell her the results, instead telling his supervisor the woman had refused a drug test and beginning to book her into the jail. But the woman told another deputy Barrios had refused to tell her the results, and when that deputy retrieved the test kit from the garbage, it registered negative. The woman then submitted to and passed a second urine test, whereupon she was then released. An investigation began immediately, resulting in Barrios pleading guilty to one felony count of destroying physical matter.
