Man nabbed for allegedly blackmailing woman in Nueva Ecija over nude photos

LUCENA CITY – A woman, who authorities said was previously convicted of a drug-related offense, was arrested here in a buy-bust operation on Monday, police said Tuesday.

Police Leuitenant Colonel Romulo Albacea, Lucena City police chief, reported that anti-narcotics agents nabbed Rowena Porta, 35, after she sold P500 worth of shabu (crystal meth) to an undercover police officer in Barangay (village) Gulang-Gulang at around 4 p.m.

The suspect yielded four sachets of shabu worth an estimated P31,000.

Porta, authorities said,  was “convicted on previous drug case.”

Porta will face a formal complaint for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
