he Gorontalo Narcotics Agency arrested the wife of Gorontalo Deputy Mayor Charles Budi Doku for the alleged possession of sabu-sabu (crystal methamphetamine) in a raid on Tuesday evening.
The woman, identified only as SD, was arrested in a friend’s room on Jl. HOS Cokroaminoto in Gorontalo city.
Evidence confiscated included water bottles reportedly used as bongs, three packages of crystal meth, a meth pipe, a lighter and several electronic gadgets.
“We haven’t weighed the [crystal meth] yet. It is probably half a gram,” Gorontalo agency chief Brig. Gen. Oneng Iskandar said on Wednesday.
SD and her friend, who was also arrested, both tested positive for drugs in urine tests, he added.
The agency detained the two suspects but had yet to question them as they were reportedly both in shock.
“They cried when we [began to] question them. They needed to be accompanied by doctors,” Oneng said.
The suspects face charges of drug possession under the 2009 Narcotics Law. If found guilty, they could face a maximum 12 years in prison and an Rp 8 billion (US$560,000) fine.
