According to police chief Rêmulo Diniz, the suspect was a passenger in a taxi that came from Epitaciolândia and was stopped for inspection. During the approach, the police noticed that the man, already known for having a criminal record related to drug trafficking, was showing nervousness.
The agents were suspicious of the abnormal volume in the colostomy bag that the suspect was using. After a thorough search, the drug was found hidden in the accessory.
As a result of the incident, the man was arrested and taken to the police station to give a statement. It will be submitted to legal procedures and will remain at the disposal of the Court.
