Monterrey municipal police detained Edinson “N”, a 41-year-old Colombian man, at
about 19:10 at the crossing of Miguel Nieto and Pedro María Anaya in Colonia
Industrial.[1] Officers on a prevention and surveillance patrol said they saw
him drinking alcohol in the street, stopped the unit to approach him, and
reported that he became annoyed when they searched him.[1]
During the search they seized 10 bags of green herb with characteristics similar
to marijuana, and a metal hammer at his waist.[1] Police said they did not at
first know why he was carrying the tool.[1]
They later said he is linked to an investigation into an alleged attack on a dog
in the street, in which an object of similar characteristics was supposedly
used.[1] The municipal force said the competent authority must decide whether
he took part in the attack and in what circumstances.[1] No details were given
on the dog’s condition, the date of the alleged attack, or how the inquiry
began.[1]
After the stop he was taken to Monterrey police premises and left with the
corresponding authority to decide his legal situation.[1] The force said the
detention was part of Estrategia Escudo, under which it keeps preventive patrols
in different parts of the city.[1]

- No charge or court outcome was reported; he was left with the competent authority.
- No details were published on the dog’s condition or the date of the alleged attack.
- Left out, as its quotation was not found in Milenio: Milenio likewise reported that Monterrey police found 10 packets of green herb with the characteristics of marijuana and a metal hammer on the Colombian man in Colonia Industrial, and that he is under investigation for an alleged attack on a dog in the street.
