CEBU CITY -- A drug personality in Talisay City, Cebu was arrested in a buy-bust operation early Sunday night.
Butch Gutierrez, 35, of Barangay Poblacion, was taken into custody after peddling illegal drugs to a police poseur buyer around 6 p.m.
The buy-bust operation was led by Police Superintendent Joie Yape, chief of the Provincial Intelligence Branch (PIB), in coordination with the Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit, Talisay City Police Station and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
Recovered from Gutierrez were three medium-sized plastic packs and seven small packets of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or “shabu”, and seven rolled tinfoil strips.
The suspect is temporarily detained at the Talisay Police Station awaiting filing of appropriate charges against him.
Yape, meanwhile, called on his fellow police officers involved in the drug trade to stop their illegal activities to avoid any eventual arrest or unfortunate encounter.
The PIB chief also warned narco-politicians that time will come when they must be punished or pay for their involvement in illegal drugs. (With reports from USJR intern Levirose Caballero/PNA)
