Two men toss shabu into city jail

Police  arrested two men suspected of selling drugs to  inmates at the Cebu City Jail in barangay Kalunasan, Cebu City.

Jail guards saw the men outside throwing packs of suspected drugs into the jail compound   at 3 p.m. last Thursday.

After jail warden Jhonson Calub alerted the police, operatives  of the City Intelligence Branch (CIB), frisked bystanders and habal-habal drivers outside.

Police said a .38 revolver and a sachet with white powder was found in the bag  of Jessie Mahusay, 39, of barangay Pahina Central.

A sachet was also found in the possession of  Louie Anam, 27, of barangay Kalunasan.   The suspects said the drugs were planted by the police.

Police said  Mahusay would receive payment through visitors of the inmates who  served as his customers.

Chief Insp. Romeo Sntander, CIB chief, said a  drug lord in Cebu City whom the police has been  monitoring for years is supplying Mahusay.

Mahusay and Anam were detained at the stockade of CCPO while waiting for charges to be filed against them./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
