Martin Perez-Ruiz/Mexico/Cocaine Possession

by G. George | September 16, 2026

Mexican national Martin Perez-Ruiz was arrested in Detroit, Michigan, on a cocaine possession charge after officers encountered him in a neighborhood on the city’s southwest side. According to publicly available property and address records, Perez-Ruiz has recent ties to a residential address in Detroit, where police activity has been noted in connection with narcotics investigations. During the arrest, officers reported recovering a quantity of cocaine from Perez-Ruiz’s person or immediate vicinity, leading to a state-level possession case rather than a distribution or trafficking charge.

Perez-Ruiz was transported to a local jail pending arraignment, where prosecutors are expected to review police reports, any field or laboratory test results, and his prior history before formalizing cocaine possession charges under Michigan law. Because he is a Mexican national, federal immigration authorities may also review his case following local proceedings to determine whether drug-possession conduct should trigger additional immigration action, including possible removal from the United States.
