MA TURNS IN SON FOR DRUG ABUSE

A mother who had enough of her 28-year-old son's addiction to marijuana and
drug pushing, called the police to have him arrested last Friday.

When the police arrived at Spolarium Street, in barangay Duljo-Fatima,
Gilbert Mentorona was allegedly smoking marijuana in the open while at the
same time peddling rolled up marijuana cigarets to passers-by.

The police arrested Mentorona and seized 48 marijuana sticks. Charges of
possession of illegal drugs would be filed against him today.

Mentorona's mother said her son has been the cause of trouble at home for
quite some time already.

In barangay Punta Princesa, two men and a juvenile were arrested inside the
premises of a school for sniffing rugby Saturday afternoon.

Arrested were Joseph Caballero, Sander Pontero, and a 17-year-old who had a
knife tucked in his waist. The minor would be charged with concealing a
deadly weapon including possession and use of a regulated substance.
