An 18-year-old was arrested for drug trafficking at about 9:40 p.m. on 28 October 2026, on Rua Rogério Otero in Jardim Dolores, Vargem Grande do Sul.[1] The incident report said a Military Police team on patrol saw him cycling and considered his behavior suspicious.[1] When he noticed the police vehicle, he sped up and threw an object on the ground.[1]
Officers stopped him and found brass knuckles and an iPhone during a personal search.[1] The object he discarded contained three portions of cocaine.[1] A search of his home found a container with eight portions of the same drug, a larger portion of cannabis, scissors and cash.[1] Police reported seizing 20 grams of cannabis in total.[1]
The young man was taken to an urgent-care post for a forensic medical examination.[1] He was then taken to the police station in São João da Boa Vista and presented to duty delegate Brenda Krisley Serafim.[1] The delegate confirmed the arrest made in flagrante (while he was being caught in the act) and ordered him sent to the public jail, where he remained in custody at the disposal of the courts.[1]
