A member of the Philippine Army who went Absent Without Leave and a public school teacher were arrested during a drug sting in Barangay Bagong Silangan, Quezon City Friday.
Quezon City Police District Station 6 (Batasan) commander Supt. Joel Villanueva identified the suspects as Danilo Calayan, 36, a former soldier and resident of Barangay Bagong Silangan, and his companion, Mikel Suyman, 42, an elementary public school teacher, from Montalban, Rizal.
Police report showed that personnel of the QCPD Station 6 Drug Enforcement Unit set a buy-bust operation against Calayan who was found out to be peddling drugs in the area.
An undercover policeman managed to deal with Calayan near his house on J.P. Rizal St. around 9:20 p.m.
After purchasing P200 worth of shabu, anti-narcotics officers immediately collared Calayan, as well as Suyman who was caught buying drugs from the suspect.
Seized from the suspects were five heat-sealed sachets of suspected shabu and the marked money. (Alexandria San Juan)
