Man detained after argument with police outside Bolsonaro’s home

Man detained after argument with police outside Bolsonaro’s home

A 30-year-old man was detained after arguing with a police officer outside Jair Bolsonaro’s home in Brasília on Sunday night.

He had been walking his dogs when the argument began with the officer assigned to guard the property.

Bolsonaro is under house arrest at the home in the Solar de Brasília condominium, in the Jardim Botânico area.

Police took the man to the 30th Police Station in São Sebastião, where he is expected to face an allegation of disrespecting an authority figure.

Police have not said what he told the officer, or whether the argument was connected to the election result announced that night.

The alleged offense can carry a fine or detention, and such cases are often handled through a simplified procedure.

The case’s registration had not been completed by the latest update, so its next steps were not yet known.
