Arrested drug suspect wants to stay in jail

Junrex Labrador has been arrested with P6T shabu, P700 cash

-

BEING in prison is safer than staying outside, a drug personalit­y said.

Junrex Labrador, 21, of Sitio Mangga in Barangay Punta Princesa, Cebu City said he was scared to go out of jail because Mayor-elect Tomas Osmeña and President- elect Rodrigo Duterte might order the authoritie­s to kill him.

Labrador was caught in a buy-bust at 3 p.m. last Wednesday by operatives of the Punta Princesa Po- lice Station.

He was also arrested for a drug-related offense by members from the same police precincts last year. He is out on bail.

Police placed Labrador under surveillan­ce for one week before the operation was conducted.

He is reportedly a level three drug pusher, which means that he can dispose of at least 200 grams of shabu per week.

In a Balitang Bisdak report, Labrador alleg- edly admitted that he sells drugs but it was only a small business.

Recovered from Labrador were 28 small packs of shabu worth P6,000, three P100 bills used in the buy-bust and P700 cash believed to be proceeds from his alleged illegal drug trade.

Meanwhile, members of Talamban Police Station also arrested Paul “Dodot” Gerona, 30, from Proper Pit-os.

Police said Gerona sells shabu to habal- habal drivers in the area. These habal-habal drivers serves as the Gerona’s lookout against police operatives.

Recovered from the suspect were 30 pieces of small packs of shabu and the P200 used in the buy-bust.

The suspects will be facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, or The Comprehens­ive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
