An alleged drug pusher was arrested by members of Moises Padilla municipal police after they conducted a buy-bust operation at Sitio Balo, Barangay Magallon Cadre of the said town.
Police identified the suspect as 38-year-old Rasheel Doronilla, a resident of Pontevedra.
Moises Padilla municipal police commander, Police Senior Inspector Alan Reloj, said they have been monitoring Doronilla for a week before conducting the operation.
He said the suspect also tried to elude capture by riding a bus, but was quickly subdued following a short chase.
Police recovered two sachets of suspected shabu and the marked money used by the cops.
Reloj added Doronilla was allegedly the main supplier of illegal drugs in the mountainous area of the barangay.
Doronilla is facing illegal drugs charges and is detained at the Moises Padilla Municipal Police Station./WDJ
