A municipal councilor of Kiblawan, Davao del Sur was arrested while having a shabu session in Davao City on Saturday.
The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) said Saturday they apprehended Councilor Cipriano Sarona, with three others at the Bankerohan Public Market in Davao City.
"The suspects were apprehended while sniffing shabu inside a half opened store in Bankerohan rented by Sarona," DCPO chief Police Colonel Kirby John Kraft said Saturday. "This is a sad note for us because there are still government officials who were arrested due to illegal drugs."
According to the DCPO, Sarona was in Davao city to supply mangoes in Bankerohan when personnel from the San Pedro Police Station conducted an anti-illegal drug operation in the said place.
Sarona is considered a high value target and is included in the drug list of the DCPO, it added.
The police later identified two of Sarona's companions as Archie Fritz Truya and Butch Amarillo.
The suspects were later found to be in possession of shabu and illegal drug paraphernalia, the police added.
The arrested suspects will face charges for violation of the Republic Act No. 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
