A MAN who was arrested for violation of a city ordinance also yielded over P280,000 worth of shabu in Davao City.
In a report to Police Regional Office 11 director Benjamin Silo Sr., Pat. Ramel Botohan, a member of the Davao City Mobile Force Company, initially nabbed suspect Abdullah Asakil for violating the anti-smoking city ordinance near the Davao City Jail in Ma-a, Davao City.
However, when Botohan was about to issue a citation ticket on Asakil, the suspect ran away and threw a plastic cellophane he was holding.
The officer gave chase and later cornered the suspect and turned him over to Bureau of Jail Management and Penology personnel JO1 Esmael Kasan.
Botohan immediately coordinated with the Police Station 16 and the barangay officials in recovering the plastic bag the suspect threw away.
Authorities found inside the plastic cellophane three plastic sachets containing shabu worth P288,000.
“The vigilance of our police personnel is remarkable and inspiring to see our cops performing well and doing their best in the field. There are many cops like Patrolman Botohan who excel in the field in silence while performing their duties exemplarily,” Silo said.
