Military Police arrested a man in flagrante for drug trafficking on the night of Saturday 31 October 2026 during Operação Feriado in São Carlos.[1] A Tático Comando patrol spotted his Citroën C3 on Rua Dr. Álvaro Câmara in Jardim Monte Carlo after he appeared to discard an object onto the floor of the car.[1] During the stop officers found a plastic bag of marijuana on the floor behind the passenger seat.[1] The man’s partner insulted the officers and was arrested for contempt, and the couple were taken to the Central de Polícia Judiciária (CPJ).[1]
The man told police he had recently left prison and was delivering drugs by “delivery”, and he led officers to more marijuana stored at his home on Rua Aparecido Pandolfelli.[1] In total police seized 272 grams of marijuana and a mobile phone.[1] The car he was using was impounded because its registration was expired.[1]
The man’s arrest was ratified as drug trafficking under article 33 of the Drugs Law and he was sent to the triage centre.[1] The woman was indicted for contempt and later released, and the case was presented to duty delegate Reinaldo Lopes Machado.[1]
