Recovered from Notortomaso were P5,000 worth of three sachets of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or “shabu”. Admitted that he is using illegal drugs along with other drug dependents just to gain friends, however, he denied involvement in the trade of illegal drugs in the city.
Notortomaso will be charged because of violating section 5 (selling) of the Dangerous Drugs Act.
Some four months ago, Notortomaso actually had turned himself in to the “Oplan Tokhang”.
