Man tried to sneak in shabu for detainee, arrested
ALAMINOS CITY—A tricycle driver was arrested while visiting his friend detained at the city police station here after a failed attempt to sneak in a sachet of shabu for the latter by placing it inside a loaf of bread.
Arrested was Oliver Castrence, 24, single, and a resident of Sabaro Street, Barangay Poblacion here being in possession of a heat-sealed transparent sachet with about five grams of shabu estimated to cost P15,000.
Police investigation showed that Castrence arrived at the city police station dawn of March 23 and asked permission from Duty Jailer, Police Officer 1 Kepler Gargueña, to deliver snacks to his friend Raul Rabago, a custodial detainee who was previously arrested in a buy-bust operation.
When Gargueña ordered Castrence to open the plastic bag he was holding for inspection, the latter hesitated.
When it was opened and the content was further inspected, one piece of heat-sealed transparent plastic sachet containing shabu was found inserted inside the bread. (Tita Roces)
