Main shabu peddler
nabbed in San Carlos

Policemen arrested yesterday the main distributor of shabu who was listed as number one in the drug watchlist of the police in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.

Armed with a search warrant issued by Judge Franklin Cobol, a police team led by Senior Supt. Ricardo de la Paz swooped down on the house of Angelito Duhaylungsod, alias Joselito, at Caballero Subdivision in San Carlos City.

De la Paz said the raid yielded 3.6 grams of suspected shabu, P26,140 in cash believed to be proceeds from the sale of prohibited drugs, three cellphones, assorted drug paraphernalia, and a motorcycle.

Police investigations show that Duhaylungsod, 39, used to be the leader of a local drug gang, that was busted by the San Carlos police in 2005, and which resulted in the arrest of five of its members.

Duhaylungsod and four other members of the gang were freed from jail after posting bail on the drug charges filed against them, police records showed.

After his release from detention, Duhaylungsod was monitored to have resumed his drug peddling activities, and had disposed at least 50 grams of shabu to his sub-distributors in San Carlos, de la Paz said.

The shabu supplied to Duhaylungsod was traced by the police to have originated from Cebu.

A gram of shabu is being sold by peddlers at P5,000, police records show.

De la Paz said they are filing another set of charges for illegal possession of drugs and its paraphernalia against Duhaylungsod who is now detained at the city police station jail.*GPB .

Two jailed for grave threats
against Valladolid policemen

Two Valladolid town residents are now in jail, and have been charged in court for grave oral defamation and grave threats allegedly for maligning their police captors on Feb. 18 in the town.

Detained at the town police lock-up cell are Wilmar Lasaga and Mark Nojas, both in their early 20's and residents of Brgy. Saguabanwa, Vallaolid, Negros Occidental.

Senior Inspector Rico Santotome, Valladolid police chief, yesterday said Judge Manuel Limsiaco has recommended P22,000 bail for each of the two suspects.

Police investigations show that Lasaga and Nojas were arrested by Santotome, PO2 Rolando Abaring and PO3 Victor Paulino on Sunday, for throwing bottles of beer at the town public plaza. While at the police station, Santotome said the two suspects who were under the influence of intoxicating liquor, uttered threatening and defamatory words against him and two other police officers, despite his warning to them to stop it.

Lasaga and Nojas are still in jail as of yesterday, for failure to post bail of P22,000 each, in connection with the two criminal complaints filed against them by Santotome and two other Valladolid policemen.*GPB
