A 24-year-old man was arrested in Montpellier after he was caught during a suspected drug transaction and allegedly offered drugs to a police officer. Police in Montpellier’s Saint-Martin district spotted the man acting suspiciously on Sunday at around 4pm. Officers watched as he went back and forth to a nearby box while handling a transaction with a buyer, then decided to move in. As an officer approached, the suspect allegedly asked, “Do you want shit?” before the officer attempted to arrest him. The man resisted strongly for several minutes and had to be restrained with the help of two additional officers. Officers say they were also injured during the arrest, including an officer who was allegedly bitten. The 24-year-old, who has no fixed address, was taken into custody. Police also filed a complaint over the injuries they reported. Search of the box linked to the suspect turned up 17 doses of cannabis resin weighing a total of 21 grams, as well as 0.81 gram of cocaine. Officers also found €130 on him. When questioned, the suspect denied carrying out drug transactions. He is expected to be brought before the Montpellier criminal court soon under an immediate appearance procedure.
