According to court documents, San Francisco Police Officers conducted a month-long investigation into numerous alleged purchases of illegal drugs from Ms. Soto, Ms. Alvarado-Rodriguez and Ms. Valle-Rodriguez on the 600 block of McAllister Street in the Tenderloin. On the night of their arrest, April 29, 2025, San Francisco Police saw Ms. Soto, Ms. Alvarado-Rodriguez and a minor leave an apartment in Oakland at 8:03 pm and travel to the Tenderloin where they parked on Golden Gate Avenue and Gough Street. At the time of the arrest the police searched the vehicle and found over 60 grams of fentanyl, over 28 grams of methamphetamine and over 15 grams of cocaine base as well as two weighing scales and numerous plastic baggies. Following the arrest, police executed a search warrant at the apartment in Oakland at 9:30 pm and seized over 60 more grams of fentanyl, over 25 grams of cocaine base, eight grams of methamphetamine and thousands of dollars in US currency. Ms. Valle-Rodriguez was arrested at the apartment in Oakland.

The District Attorney’s Office moved to have Ms. Soto, Ms. Alvarado-Rodriguez and Ms. Valle-Rodriguez detained pending trial because of the public safety risk they pose.
