Negros Occidental drug personality held

BACOLOD CITY—The second top drug personality and the third most wanted person of the San Carlos City police in Negros Occidental was arrested at 7:53 a.m. on Tuesday, June 21.

Jean Marquez Compacion, 31, was arrested at her residence at Sto. Rosario, Barangay Rizal, San Carlos town, said Lieutenant Ruby Aurita, the city’s police spokesperson.

Compacion escaped during a police buy-bust operation in San Carlos City in January, but her live-in partner Joel Rizardo was arrested with 1.2 kilos of shabu.

She was nabbed under a warrant for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. It was issued by Judge Kathrine Go of the San Carlos City Regional Trial Court on Feb. 24.

No bail was recommended.
