State Police officers arrested a 21-year-old man in Pompei on charges of unlawful possession of drugs intended for dealing.
The operation took place in Piazza Immacolata during a territorial patrol by officers from the Pompei police station. According to the reported police account, officers observed an exchange in which drugs were handed over from an automobile in return for money.
Officers then stopped both the alleged seller and the buyer. The buyer reportedly tried to discard the dose and was reported or administratively sanctioned for personal use.
A subsequent search led to the seizure of about 40 grams in total of marijuana, hashish and cocaine, along with 220 euros in cash.
The available reports do not give the exact breakdown of the seized substances by type. They also do not identify the 21-year-old by name or residence, nor do they report any later judicial decision. The account published so far reflects the police intervention and does not include statements from the defense.
