On May 18, 2020, Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) Interdiction Plus (IP) Trooper Andrew Connors stopped a silver GMC Yukon XL on Interstate 24 at the 82-mile marker in Rutherford County, Tennessee for a traffic violation. During the investigation, Trooper Connors became suspicious that the occupants of the vehicle were involved in criminal activity. IP Troopers Daniels and Campbell arrived to assist.
Law enforcement in Illinois were notified and responded to that address and contacted the gas station owner who unlocked the gas pumps computer system. Later, THP Criminal Investigations Division (CID) Sergeant William Gregory assisted roadside. Through FaceTime, IP Troopers and CID worked with law enforcement in Illinois to locate Bluetooth skimmers attached to the gas pump card readers. Illinois law enforcement placed the skimmers into their evidence room.
Yosvany Cabrera, 35, of Miami, Florida and Rodovaldo Gonzalez, 31, also of Miami, Florida were arrested without incident and booked at the Rutherford County Detention Center for felony possession of Schedule II, 42 counts of criminal simulation, 42 counts of identity theft, and 42 counts of identity theft trafficking. The investigation is ongoing and will be presented to the United States Secret Service for federal prosecution.
