As an 29-year-old woman woke up in her apartment on Butterfield Boulevard and Cochrane Road early Monday morning, she realized there was something in her mouth, and then realized her ex-boyfriend, who was staying with her, had placed some kind of drug in it.
It was 4:14 a.m., and the woman, after confronting her ex-boyfriend, Akiin Vieira, 35, who denied putting anything in her mouth, she called police. She then went to the hospital to make sure she was all right.
Police arrived at the apartment, but Vieira had fled.
Later that morning, at approximately 11:30 a.m., Vieira was walking on Cochrane Road. Morgan Hill police Special Operations Sgt. Jerry Neumayer spotted him and called for back up. Officers on patrol responded to the area, and Vieira took off running. Officer Scott Silva found him hiding in a bush, and he ran again and jumped a fence north of a residence on Sanchez Drive. Silva held him with a taser, though he did not have to use the taser, and Neumayer jumped the fence and handcuffed Vieira.
However, officers had to cut a padlock off the fence gate to get Vieira out because there was no other exit, and he could not climb over while handcuffed.
Vieira, a Morgan Hill resident, was booked into Santa Clara County Jail for allegedly giving someone a controlled substance against their will and resisting arrest.
