“Coma In A Bottle”: Miami Doc Charged With Trafficking Date Rape Drug<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

As if there weren’t enough problems in academia right now, an\u00a0assistant professor at the University of Miami\u2019s medical school has just been charged with trafficking a date rape drug,\u00a0according to the NY Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday,\u00a0Dr. Dairon Garcia was charged with trafficking the drug.\u00a0Authorities say they connected him to a package intercepted at Miami International Airport containing 15 pounds of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer said at the arraignment:\u00a0\u201cHe should be so embarrassed being here. He\u2019s a medical doctor, going through all those years of education and committing his life to helping people and to get arrested for this.<\/p>\n

She added:\u00a0\u201cThat\u2019s between you, your lawyer and the criminal justice system. Good luck to you, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NY Post article says<\/a> that\u00a0Garcia, an assistant professor of clinical radiology at the UM Miller School of Medicine, is facing charges linked to a package from Paris addressed to his rental property, intercepted by customs at Miami Airport on Aug. 29.<\/p>\n

Miami police, alerted by Homeland Security, monitored the address as the package was delivered on Sept. 12 and collected by a woman. After a search, her daughter reported Garcia had informed them of the delivery, asking them to accept it.<\/p>\n

Another tenant reported receiving a separate package for Garcia on Sept. 7, and customs intercepted yet another on Sept. 25, addressed to his registered company, DG Diagnostics MD LLC, the report says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He pleaded not guilty at Friday’s arraignment, was held on $15,000 bail, and posted it that evening.<\/p>\n

The DEA says gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), often called \u201cgrievous bodily harm\u201d or \u201ccoma in a bottle,\u201d is colorless and can be slipped into drinks, causing sedation without the victim\u2019s knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
