ROXAS City – The Provincial Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the charges filed against an alleged drug pusher caught in a buy-bust operation in Dumalag, Capiz last month.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency laboratory results showed that the substance contained in three plastic sachets recovered from Nelson Nicolas were not illegal drugs, said Dumalag police chief Senior Inspector Pedro Diocson.
Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Ma. Conchita Caldetera and Deputy Provincial Prosecutor Edwin Devano approved Nicolas’ release order.
The Dumalag municipal police station filed the drug charges against Nicolas after the latter’s arrest.
“Ginpadayon lang namon ang pag-file maskin negative sa shabu ang na recover sa kay Nelson Nicolas. He was a newly identified street-level target,” Diocson said.
He added: “Ang bag-o nga modus subong sang mga drug suspect amo ang pag-baligya sang bogus item pareho sang tawas kag ilisan lang nila mag-reklamo ikaw.”/PN
