Mansfield Police Report 3 Arrests, Seize Firearms and Suspected Cocaine After Weekend Incidents

Mansfield Police say two significant incidents over the weekend led to three arrests and the seizure of two firearms and a significant quantity of suspected cocaine, according to a statement issued by the department on January 12, 2026.

Police described the incidents as separate events that required multiple officers and detectives, with one case escalating into a search that resulted in the drug and firearm seizure. While the department did not frame the events as random threats to the public, the announcement reflects a serious response to domestic-related calls and illegal drug activity.

The first incident unfolded Saturday morning, when officers responded to a call for service involving a domestic situation. According to Mansfield Police, the response led to an arrest, and detectives later obtained a court-authorized search warrant connected to the case.

During the search, police reported seizing approximately 128 grams of suspected cocaine, two 9mm firearms, and additional drug-related items, including substances described as steroids/testosterone and psilocybin mushrooms.

A 32-year-old Mansfield man was arrested and faces a list of charges, including cocaine trafficking, drug possession, and several additional offenses connected to the incident.

Police said a second incident later that same morning also involved a domestic violence investigation, which resulted in additional arrests. The department emphasized that its officers responded quickly, and that follow-up work by detectives led to significant evidence recovery.

Cases like this tend to draw strong attention from residents because they touch on two growing public concerns across the region: domestic violence response and illegal drug distribution. Mansfield Police did not release extended narrative details in the initial announcement, but the reported seizures show how quickly a domestic-related call can uncover broader criminal activity involving weapons and narcotics.

The department’s update serves as a reminder that law enforcement activity in Mansfield is not limited to traffic enforcement or routine calls — officers are also handling serious investigations that can involve firearms, large-scale drug possession, and risk factors for families and neighborhoods.

As always, anyone dealing with domestic violence is encouraged to seek help and use local and statewide support resources.
