A suspected drug pusher reportedly swallowed several grams of suspected shabu, after he was nabbed by the police in a buy-bust operation in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, Tuesday.

The police identified the suspect as George Bacon, 35, of Baybay Tinago in Dumaguete, who was arrested after he handed a small plastic sachet of the banned substance to a police poseur-buyer, in exchange for P500.

As he was being arrested, Bacon swallowed a big plastic sachet of suspected shabu before it could be confiscated by members of the Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group, the Dumaguete City Police, and the National Bureau of Investigation.

Bacon is now detained and criminal charges are being readied against him.*JFP
