ORMOC CITY — Another drug personality on the police watch list was killed in a buy bust operation on Saturday afternoon here.

Arvin Guino, 47, was killed after he tried to shoot an undercover policeman when he was noticed that it was an entrapment operation at Purok 8, Barangay Linao, here.

Senior Insp. Joseph Young, police station 3 chief, said Guino ranked third on their list of drug suspects.

Seized from Guino were P2,000 in marked money, five small sachets of shabu and a .38 caliber revolver.

Guino was the second drug personality on the watch list killed in a shootout with the police this week.
The first was Mario Dumaguit, who topped the drug watch list of the Ormoc City Police Office. He was killed in a shootout last Thursday. JE/rga
