He tried to stow away his drugs in a police vehicle and was arrested for harassment and possession of a schedule II controlled substance after police received a disturbance call from Yigo. Officers met with the victim who alleged that John Tenorio Quichocho Jr. had threatened to crack her head while on the phone with her mother.

While being transported to the police station, Quichocho was allegedly shifting around and when asked by police, he told them his handcuffs were uncomfortable.

Court documents say that after exiting the vehicle, officers found a baggie with a crystalline substance in the seat belt weighing around 0.85 grams.
