BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Boca Raton man is facing multiple felony charges after an undercover narcotics investigation led to two alleged drug sales and a later arrest during a traffic stop in the city’s Town Center area.
Jordan Guy Vallagi, 26, of Boca Raton, was taken into custody following an investigation by the Boca Raton Police Department’s Vice, Intelligence, and Narcotics Unit, according to arrest records and probable cause affidavits filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court.
Court records show Vallagi is charged in two separate felony cases with possession with intent to sell MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy. Additional charges include resisting an officer without violence and tampering with physical evidence.
The investigation began after Boca Raton detectives received information that Vallagi was selling narcotics within the city. On February 20, investigators received a tip identifying Vallagi as someone distributing drugs in Boca Raton.
Three days later, detectives used law enforcement databases to identify a phone number associated with Vallagi. An undercover detective contacted the number by text message and began communicating with the individual, who identified himself as “JJ,” the first initial of Vallagi’s name.
During the conversation, the undercover detective asked about purchasing “beans,” a common street term for MDMA pills. Vallagi allegedly agreed to sell the detective ten pills for $200 and arranged to meet in Boca Raton later that day.
The meeting was set for the parking lot of 5150 Town Center Circle, near the Town Center at Boca Raton shopping area.
According to investigators, the undercover detective arrived and parked in the lot. A white Jaguar F-Pace registered to a person with the same last name as Vallagi pulled into the lot and parked nearby.
The detective entered the passenger seat of the vehicle, where investigators say Vallagi exchanged ten pink-orange pills packaged in a plastic bag for the prerecorded investigative funds.
Police later submitted the pills to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office crime laboratory. Testing determined the pills contained MDMA.
Investigators say Vallagi also indicated during the meeting that he sold “Addys,” a street term referring to Adderall.
Detectives later conducted a second undercover purchase operation.
On March 4, an undercover detective again contacted Vallagi through the same messaging application. Vallagi allegedly agreed to sell ten MDMA pills and five Adderall pills and arranged another meeting at the same location near Town Center Circle later that afternoon.
During that meeting, investigators say Vallagi sold six pink-orange pills labeled “Hello Kitty,” four orange pills labeled “Tesla,” one blue pill, and five additional pills marked “30 mg.” The transaction totaled $300 in prerecorded investigative funds.
After the exchange, uniformed officers attempted to stop Vallagi’s vehicle as part of the ongoing investigation.
Officers conducted a traffic stop on West Glades Road near the Town Center area. When officers attempted to take Vallagi into custody, police say he began chewing unknown pills inside his mouth.
According to the arrest affidavit, officers repeatedly ordered Vallagi to spit out the pills to prevent him from harming himself and destroying evidence. Vallagi did not comply and continued chewing and swallowing the pills while officers attempted to detain him.
Investigators reported seeing an orange residue around Vallagi’s teeth and lips while he resisted commands and pulled his arm away as officers tried to place him in handcuffs.
He was eventually taken into custody and transported to a hospital for medical clearance before being booked into the Palm Beach County Jail.
Court records show Vallagi was already under Florida Department of Corrections supervision on felony probation related to a Broward County negligent homicide case at the time of the alleged drug sales.
Prosecutors say the alleged narcotics transactions violated the conditions of that probation.
Palm Beach County court records show judges found probable cause for the charges and scheduled the case for additional court hearings. One of the felony drug charges carries a $10,000 bond, while the resisting and evidence-tampering charges carry bonds totaling $5,000.
The cases will continue through the Palm Beach County court system, with upcoming hearings scheduled in the coming months.
