Jakarta – The Jakarta Police have arrested an Indonesian Military (TNI) member, identified only as Second Sgt. S, for allegedly distributing shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine).
According to police records, the active TNI member has been caught selling drugs twice before. "S is currently waiting for his appeal to be heard," TNI spokesperson Maj. Gen. Wuryanto said as quoted by tempo.co on Friday.
Wuryanto said S. had appealed against his sentence of dishonorable discharge in his two last cases. He was caught by the Depok Police in West Java and by the East Jakarta Police for selling crystal methamphetamine.
In the latest case, S. was hunted down by police officers after they arrested another suspected drug dealer, Ahyat, in Bekasi Timur, West Java, on Aug. 23. The officers seized 52.41 grams of crystal methamphetamine from Ahyat, who claimed he bought the crystal meth from S.
The police arrested S. in Cileungsi, Bogor, West Java, and confiscated 17.51 grams of crystal meth. Bekasi Police chief Sr. Comr. Asep Adi Saputra said his officers were looking for more suspects involved in the case. (vny)
