CALASIAO, Pangasinan, Philippines – A police officer was arrested by his colleagues and agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) during a raid on an alleged drug den here Friday.
Police Officer 1 Jerry Mabanglo was allegedly caught using shabu with some companions in a house in Barangay Buenlag, said Superintendent Rizaldy Dalope, Calasiao police chief.
Mabanglo reportedly tried to resist arrest but someone close to him convinced him to surrender.
The raiding team reportedly seized from Mabanglo a plastic sachet said to contain shabu and drug paraphernalia.
Dalope said aside from drug charges, Mabanglo would also face an administrative case.
He said his men placed the alleged drug den under surveillance before staging the raid.
