Grade 10 student yields marijuana at Pasig school

A Grade 10 student was arrested after yielding 10 sachets of suspected marijuana at Rizal High School in Barangay Caniogan, Pasig City Thursday.

In a report, police on Friday identified the suspect as John Arbie Glipo, 18. Police said Glipo was arrested by the school’s security guard for alleged possession of the banned plant.

Police said the guard was doing a routine inspection of the bags of students who were entering the school when he saw the sachets containing the suspected marijuana.

Glipo was then brought to the Police Community Precinct 4 in the said barangay. He was later taken to the Pasig Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit for investigation and to the Rizal Medical Center for medical examination.

Drug charges are now being prepared for filing against the suspect with the recovered items sent to the Eastern Police District Crime Laboratory in Mandaluyong City for examination. /muf
