MANILA, Philippines — Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested a vlogger following an anti-drug operation in Davao City on Friday night.

The suspect, who uses the alias “Christ Briand” on social media, reportedly sold P2,000 worth of dried marijuana leaves and a bottle of suspected cannabis oil to an undercover agent.

The suspect reportedly yielded more marijuana leaves wrapped in plastic sachets and several bottles of suspected cannabis oil during a body frisk.

Charges of violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 will be filed against the suspect, the NBI said.
