MANILA, Philippines — The man who went berserk in Quezon City and was chased by authorities to Manila has tested positive for methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu, police said yesterday.
Maj. Wennie Ann Cale, Quezon City Police District (QCPD) spokesperson, said this was the result of the examination of Tan’s urine samples.
“He is positive,” Cale said in a text message.
Tan was charged with various offenses, such as possession of prohibited narcotics and drug paraphernalia, disobedience to an agent of a person in authority, violation of Republic Act 10586 or the Anti-Drunk and Drugs Driving Act and RA 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.
