CEBU, Philippines — A civil engineer and his fiancé were arrested Thursday after the police allegedly caught them on the act of having a drug session in Barangay Mohon, Talisay City.
Police identified the suspects as Brandon Arbon, 43, and Emily Marilao, 24. Police Captain Mikhail Mallorca, deputy chief of Talisay City Police Station, said a team of policemen responded to a complaint from a Grab driver claiming he was mauled by Arbon and his friends.
The driver claimed he had an argument with Arbon over his fare which allegedly led to him being mauled by the suspect. Mallorca said when the responding team arrived at Arbon’s residence, they allegedly saw in plain view two sachets of drugs and sniffing paraphernalia.
Arbon denied he owned the evidence confiscated by the police.
