A 31-year-old woman who went to Police Station 5 in Barangay Granada, Bacolod City, to bring food to her detained partner was arrested after police allegedly found suspected shabu and drug paraphernalia in her possession Sunday afternoon, Oct. 4.
Police identified the woman only as alias “Girlie,” a Bacolod resident.
The incident happened at about 4:18 p.m. while personnel were conducting routine inspections of persons visiting and delivering food to individuals detained at the police station.
Police said an improvised “tooter,” or drug paraphernalia commonly associated with the use of shabu, was initially discovered during the inspection.
A subsequent search allegedly yielded a sealed transparent plastic sachet containing suspected shabu.
Police also recovered a coin purse, an umbrella and P247 in cash from the woman.
Investigators said the woman had gone to the station to visit and deliver food to her partner, who was being held in connection with a separate case involving Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Police alleged that the suspected illegal drugs were intended to be brought inside the detention facility for her partner.
The police report listed the confiscated substance at an estimated five grams and placed its stated drug value at P3,400.
The suspected shabu and paraphernalia will be submitted to the PNP forensic unit for examination, police said.
The woman remained in the custody of Police Station 5 as of Tuesday.
Police said cases for illegal possession of dangerous drugs and drug paraphernalia under RA 9165 were filed against her Tuesday, Oct. 6.*
