A court in the province of Villa Verde has imposed one month of preventive detention on 31‑year‑old Tomás Nicolás Rosendo Rodríguez. Rodríguez is accused of throwing a stone at a vehicle of the National Student Transport System (TRAE) and breaking the front glass while the vehicle was transporting students. The case was brought to court after security footage went viral, showing Rodríguez holding a stone. He surrendered to authorities through his lawyer, Rafael Morla Puello, and apologized to parents and the community at the time of his arrest. Guillermo Núñez, director of Educational District 05‑03, expressed satisfaction with the judicial decision. He noted that the Ministry of Education (Minerd) and school transport representatives had provided legal support to ensure student safety. The matter remains under judicial review.
