In Porteirinha, Brazil, a man fell from a seven-meter high cliff while trying to evade the police after he was spotted packaging drugs in a wooded area. Reports indicated that two men, aged 23 and 32, were preparing narcotics near the Mosquito River when the police set up an operation based on tips received. As the officers moved in to apprehend the suspects, they observed the men manipulating drugs among the bushes. Upon realizing the presence of law enforcement, the suspects attempted to flee in different directions.

During the escape, one of the men, aged 32, appeared to reach for something at his waistband, which raised alarms for the police. As he failed to comply with their orders and posed a potential threat to the officers, the police discharged their weapons in an attempt to immobilize the suspect. The man managed to cross the river and headed towards Vila São Domingos, with police following closely to capture him.

This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in combatting drug-related crime in rural Brazil. The police's quick response to the reports generated a significant operational effort, indicating the presence of organized drug activity in the area and the potential dangers faced by officers in the line of duty.
