DIGOS City ― A 38-year-old self-employed man landed in jail for selling and possessing prohibited drugs to a police officer acting as poseur-buyer during a sting operation in Barangay Aplaya, this city.
Lt. Colonel Hamlet Lerios, Digos City police chief named the suspect as alias ‘Nasrodin,’ a resident of Clarion 2nd Street, Barangay Zone-2, Digos City.
The operatives comprising members of the city drug enforcement unit and intelligence unit of Digos City police station recovered the marked P1,000 bill used to buy a sachet of suspected shabu from Nasrodin.
Another four small sachets of the same substance were found and seized from the possession of the suspect, the police reported.
