Pontevedra Police Arrest Driver for Restraining-Order Breach After Positive Drug Test

The case highlights active enforcement of court orders in gender-violence protections.

Overview

  • Local police detained a driver who showed signs of drug use and violated a court order by going to his ex-partner’s workplace.
  • Officers said the roadside screening returned a positive result for cocaine after they stopped the car for speeding in the city.
  • Police records showed an active restraining order that bars contact and presence at the victim’s home and job, which made his visit to the shop a criminal offense.
  • In a separate incident, officers arrested a man for an alleged gender-violence assault in public and seized a folding knife about 10 centimeters long.
  • Police also detained another man for serious disobedience and resistance after an altercation in a local venue, with all three suspects placed at the disposal of judicial authorities.
