Military police in Marília arrested a 40-year-old man in flagrante, accused of drug trafficking, resisting police and injuring an officer.[1] The stop was at about 1:15 a.m. on Rua Salvador Salgueiro, in the Palmital neighbourhood, near the community known as Fazendinha, in Vila Barros.[1] During a routine patrol of Operação Impacto Contra o Tráfico de Drogas, three military police officers saw two men in the street.[1] When they saw the police car approaching, both ran into the community, and one of them got away.[1] Officers caught the 40-year-old man, who was carrying a plastic bag.[1]
He resisted and punched a 43-year-old military police corporal in the face.[1] The blow injured the officer’s nose and aggravated the accusation.[1] After the assault, the officers used physical force to restrain and handcuff him.[1] Besides the injured corporal, a 45-year-old subtenente and a 52-year-old corporal took part.[1]
In the plastic bag, officers found 583 portions of drugs and cash.[1] The bag held 292 portions of cocaine weighing 547.31 grams, which are not counted as cannabis.[1] Officers seized 100 portions of marijuana weighing 250.97 grams.[1] They seized 90 portions of dry marijuana weighing 57.03 grams.[1] They seized 78 portions of flor marijuana weighing 258.39 grams.[1] They seized 23 portions of hashish weighing 97.17 grams.[1] They also seized 556 reais in cash.[1] Forensic analysis in Marília was positive for tetrahydrocannabinol and cocaine.[1] Experts took samples for the Criminalistics Institute in Bauru and returned the remaining material to the police station.[1]
