Police responded early Sunday morning to a home in Fellsmere after they received reports of a suspicious incident. The complainant told police that he saw a man around 4 a.m. wearing a pink shirt, black pants and a green hat knocking on the windows of his house in the 30 block of North Oak Street. The complainant said he didn’t know the man. Police eventually caught up with the man, who was identified as Everado Sanchez. Police said Sanchez reached in to his left pants pocket and dropped three small bags on the ground. An officer saw him drop another small bag containing a white powdery substance on the ground, then step on the bag and try to grind it in to the dirt, police said. Sanchez was arrested. Police said they collected all the bags and found that the white powdery substance tested positive for cocaine. A total of 60 Insulin syringes were found in the other bags, according to police. Police said they asked Sanchez about the cocaine, which he said he uses for “energy at work.” Sanchez was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with evidence.
