The marijuana weight is reported only as about 60 grams plus another 1 kg, so 1.06 kg is a combined approximation, not a measured total.
The article does not say whether the man was charged with drug trafficking or what custody decision was taken; he was delivered to the police station and no court outcome was reported.
The man is not named; only his age and the fact that his wife and 5-month-old son were at the house are given.
The single photo is captioned only as seized material, so it is not established which items from this seizure it shows.
A second version of the story at Portal Tim Francisco could not be opened (403); its snippet differs slightly on the source of the complaint.
The house is not stated to be the man's home; it is described only as a house police searched after the complaint.
