A sergeant from the Broward Sheriff’s Office was apprehended on Tuesday at Miami International Airport by Customs and Border Protection officials after being discovered with drugs, as per authorities.
As outlined in his arrest report, 35-year-old Bryan Vidal Lorenzo of Tamarac was found in possession of suspected MDMA upon arrival of his flight at the airport.
Miami-Dade police indicated that CBP officers informed them about discovering the drugs in Lorenzo’s luggage, specifically inside a pocket of his ski pants.
Lorenzo now faces charges of possession of a controlled substance and importation of a controlled substance into Florida.
“Sgt. Bryan Lorenzo was hired by the Broward Sheriff’s Office on June 3, 2013,” a spokesperson for BSO stated in a statement Wednesday to Local 10 News. “Earlier today, he was placed on administrative leave without pay.”
When spotted exiting the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center following the posting of a $5,000 total bond, Lorenzo remained silent.
He was also mandated to attend drug counseling by a Miami-Dade judge.
