Soon after, Joseph Rodriguez was contacted by an old friend who was a former police officer fired for a weapons infraction that wanted to join thier robberies. After some time, the cop gained Joey's trust and Charlie agreed to work with him without either realising that the former cop was an FBI informant. The cop then gave them the plan of robbing an armoured car in the New Jersey Turnpike since it was less well guarded than a bank and would have more to steal. Charlie agreed and they enlisted Soto's help without realising that it was an FBI trap. On September 1st 1998, the Brothers, Soto and the cop drove to the Turnpike but Charlie grew nervous when the armoured car failed to arrive so he forced the officer to leave. Before they could, a tow truck deliberately slammed the escape car and an FBI SWAT team stormed the car and arrested Charlie, Joey and Soto without further incident. Inside the car, agents found an illegally modified AR-15 assault riffle, a silenced machine pistol, a Norinco Type-56 assault riffle (a Chinese version of the AK-47), over 1000 rounds of assorted ammunition and Charlie claimed that he also had hand grenades that he could have bought.

On March 30th 2000, the Rodriguez Brothers were sentenced to a life sentence each with no possibility of parole for two bank robberies, the attempted robbery of an armoured car, possessing weapons despite being convicted criminals, the attempted murder of a police officer and weapons violations. Charlie tried to appeal for parole in 2002 by claiming that but was denied due to his violent crimes. They remain in prison.
