A 35-year-old Tampa man pleaded guilty to dis- tributing a substance that contained a mixture of heroin and fentanyl last week. He is facing a maxi- mum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
According to court docu- ments, on November 13, 2019, Nicholas Primo dis- tributed narcotics to two in- dividuals in the parking lot of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. One of the
Primo was later cap- tured on video surveillance returning to the vehicle, and after realizing the victim had died, fleeing the garage. Primo was later interviewed and admitted to purchasing $1,600 worth of heroin prior to distributing it. Primo later contacted a friend and attempted to move the vic- tim’s car out of the Hard Rock Casino.
A sentencing date has not been scheduled.
JORDAN JYSAE PULIDO
Last week, a U. S. District judge sentenced a father and son to serve time in federal prison. Judge Virginia Hernandez-Covington sentenced Jordan Jysae Pulido, 27, of Trinity, to 10 years in federal prison, and his father, Roberto San- tana Jimenez, 62, also of Trinity, to 20 years in federal prison for child exploitation offenses.
The Court also ordered both men to serve a lifetime term of supervised release, register as sex offenders, pay restitution in the amount of $2,715, and forfeit electronic devices that were used in the commission of their of- fenses.
On October 28, 2021, a federal jury found Pulido guilty of enticement and co- ercion of minor, traveling out of the country to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and transporting a minor into the country to engage in sexual activity. The jury also found both Pulido and Jimenez guilty of conspiracy to trans- port a minor into the country to engage in sexual activity.
According to testimony and evidence presented at trial, then 23-year-old Pulido met a 14-year-old child who resided in and is a citizen of Croatia on a social networking website in 2017. Pulido began a teacher-stu- dent relationship with the child and promised to teach the child to play the guitar. After a few months of guitar lessons, Pulido began to ro-

mantically pursue the child. For nearly a year, Pulido used the internet to entice and coerce this child to en- gage in sexual activity with him. During this time, Pulido and Jimenez planned Pulido’s trip to Croatia.
Jimenez coached Pulido on what to do and say to the child and directly communicated with the child about her sexual relationship with Pulido. Jimenez falsely portrayed himself as a medical doctor and provided advice and counsel to the child about her fertility and precautions to take to avoid pregnancy.
On June 14, 2018, Pulido traveled from Florida to Croatia, proposed to the child on her 15th birth- day, and engaged in sexual activity with the child. In the month that followed, Pulido and Jimenez conspired to transport the child from Croatia to Florida, again so that Pulido could engage in sexual activity with her. On or about July 23, 2018, Pulido did transport the child from Croatia to Florida.
Once in Florida, Jimenez took the child’s passport and identification documents and refused to allow the child to travel back to Croatia with her family. Agents with the Florida De- partment of Law Enforce- ment rescued the child from the Pulido/Jimenez family home in Trinity, Florida on August 12, 2018.

Jury Acquits Retired Police Captain In Fatal Shooting
A six-member jury took less than four hours to acquit a former Tampa Police Cap- tain of second-degree mur- der. The ten-day trial ended last Thursday.
Retired Tampa Police

was arrested and charged with the shooting death of Chad Oulson.
On the night of January 13, 2014, Reeves and his wife sat behind 43-year-old Chad Oulson and his wife in the movie theater. The two men became engaged in an argument after Reeves no- ticed that Oulson was tex- ting on his cell phone. Reeves, then 71, left and complained to the manager, but returned and took the same seat.
The two men began argu- ing again and Oulson is al-
