Social media influencer "Stoyan Kolev" was detained this morning on the "Trakia" motorway after testing positive for narcotic substances during a check. The case has sparked intense interest due to the way the report was made and the behavior of the participants.

The incident began following a call to "112" from a random citizen. According to the information provided, an "automatic weapon" was being brandished from the sunroof of a moving vehicle. This prompted the police to react immediately.

Officers from the "Motorway Police" responded to the scene and stopped the vehicle for inspection. Stoyan Kolev was inside the vehicle. The driver was tested for alcohol and narcotic substances. The result of the field drug test was "positive for cocaine," which can also be seen in a clip posted by the individual himself on "Instagram".

The influencer also provided a "blood sample," with final results to be determined after laboratory analysis. Meanwhile, an inspection of the weapon established that it was an "airsoft" weapon, not a real firearm.

Stoyan Kolev has been "detained for up to 24 hours" at the regional police station in "Pazardzhik". The Regional Directorate of Police confirmed that he has been "sanctioned" for waving a weapon in a public place, even though it was an airsoft gun.

This is not the first such case involving Stoyan Kolev. At the beginning of May, the influencer was also "detained" after it was determined that he had been issuing "calls for civil disobedience" through social media posts. During that arrest, he failed to comply with the orders of law enforcement authorities.

In that previous case, checks for alcohol and narcotic substances were carried out, but both samples were "negative" at the time. The current detention, however, adds a new episode to the influencer's controversial image, this time with a positive field test for cocaine and the ostentatious handling of a weapon, albeit an airsoft one.
