BACOLOD City – Police are probing an alleged drug lord who reportedly supplies illegal drugs to his lover here.

This, after personnel of Police Station 8 arrested Elizabeth Gonzales, 42, of Barangay Mansilingan here in a buy-bust in the said village last Friday.

Recovered from Gonzales, a street cleaner, were 50 grams of suspected shabu worth P340,000 and the P500 marked money.

Police Major Joery Puerto, head of Police Station 8, said Gonzales was monitored after they received reports about her alleged engagement in the illegal drug trade.

Puerto said Gonzales was allegedly engaging in the illegal activity for three months now after she met on social media her lover who is an alleged convicted drug lord inside the National Bilibid Prison (NBP).

Puerto said the brother of Gonzales’s lover allegedly delivers the drugs to her for safekeeping.

“Daw bodega na da sa iya, ginapadala through boxes of chips or speaker box on board a truck,” Puerto said.

Gonzales has yet to comment on the allegations against her.
