Cavite village chief seeking reelection nabbed over ‘shabu’

SAN PEDRO CITY – A barangay captain vying for re-election in Cavite City was arrested for illegal drugs on Wednesday morning.

Cavite City police chief Supt. Giovannie Martinez said Arman delos Angeles was arrested around 3 a.m. in Barangay 42B, where he is seeking another fresh mandate as village chief.

In a text message, Martinez said their Drug Enforcement Team was armed with a search warrant issued on Tuesday by Judge Agripino Morga, of the Regional Trial Courts 29 to 32 in San Pablo City, Laguna, against Delos Angeles.

He said the police anti-illegal drugs team found a coin purse that contained a sachet of suspected “shabu” (crystal meth) from Delos Angeles.

The operation, Martinez added, was in coordination with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.     /kga
