Dr. Dairon Garcia, 44, a professor of medicine at the University of Miami, has been arrested on charges of trafficking a date rape drug.
A judge has slammed a University of Miami medical professor who was arrested on charges of trafficking date rape drugs.
“You should be so ashamed to be here,” Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer said as she lectured Dr. Dairon Garcia, 44, who is being held on $15,000 bail after being indicted on drug charges after his arrest at his apartment on Friday.
“He’s a doctor, he went through all those years of education and committed his life to helping people and he got arrested for this – that’s between you, your attorney and the criminal justice system.” “Good luck, sir,” Judge Glazer said.
Authorities say they can allegedly link Garcia to a package that was intercepted at Miami International Airport that contained about 15 pounds of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, or GHB, also known as the date rape drug, “liquid ecstasy” or “coma.” in a bottle.” .’
“You should be very ashamed to be here,” Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer said as she lectured Dr. Dairon Garcia.
The drug is completely colorless, meaning people often don’t realize they’ve taken it until they go to sleep, hence its disturbing nicknames.
Garcia, who graduated from Duke University, has worked as an assistant professor of clinical radiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine since 2022.
Police arrested him Friday at his downtown Miami condo after the discovery of several packages addressed to him.
Researchers had tracked a package from Paris, France, addressed to a duplex owned by García.
Customs agents intercepted the package at the airport on August 29 and then notified Miami police, who were waiting at the address on September 12 when it was due to be delivered.
A woman picked up the package and the home was raided.
He explained to police that Garcia was his landlord and had told him to wait for the package and to be home to “receive it.”
Garcia had nothing to say, left, when confronted by local news crews last week.

Garcia had worked as an assistant professor of clinical radiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine since 2022.
Authorities said the woman had text messages to prove it.
The resident said they ‘opened it and observed that it contained plastic bags with liquid inside the package.’
Miami police were alerted by the US Department of Homeland Security and monitored the address when the package was delivered on September 12 and a woman picked it up at the door.
While officers were on the scene, they discovered that two other packages had also arrived for Garcia from France to the complex on September 7 and 25, but to two different apartments within the building.
