THE Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) earlier arrested a police officer and two other drug suspects in Barangay Kauswagan here on Wednesday.
PDEA regional director Wilkins Villanueva identified the suspects as PO2 Nickarter Noay, 32, Rendon Sarita, 21, and Charlier Racaza, 35. All are from Libona, Bukidnon.
Villanueva said authorities seized from the suspects were drug paraphernalia, a loaded 9mm pistol, and some 30 grams of suspected shabu.
The PDEA said one of the suspects, identified only as Dondon, escaped.
Early this week, authorities arrested a couple, identified as Arturo Dagatan, 51, and Michelle Galica, 23, for allegedly selling shabu inside an inn on Capistrano Street.
Dagatan and Galica, residents of Burgos-Yacapin Sts., were arrested at around 11:15 pm on Monday after they yielded suspected shabu and various drug paraphernalia.
Authorities said the suspects were renting two rooms of the inn for four months. One room is for pot sessions, according to Galica.
Galica also revealed that their “clients” were mostly students, employees, and massage clinic workers, among others.
Police also rounded up Usop Alag Muslimen, 18, Baset Mino Usngan, 36, Fahad Gandarosa, 19, and Oding Solog Bongcaros, 23, all residents of Pinikitan, Camaman-an.
