Sabu-Sabu consuming, Chief of Police Resort Cibarusah arrested

Cibarusah Police chief Adj. Comr. Heru Budi Santoso was arrested Friday evening after consuming crystal methamphetamine at his official home on Jl. Raya Loji Cibarusah in Bekasi, West Java.

Jakarta Police internal affairs division arrested Heru and two of his friends and seized 0.87 gram of crystal methamphetamine and a glass used to burn the crystal methamphetamine.

“He is being detained at the Jakarta Police headquarters,” Bekasi Police spokesman Adj. Comr. Bambang Wahyudi said Sunday as quoted by tempo.co.

He said Heru was now being questioned intensively.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto told reporters that internal affairs had investigated Heru before the arrest.

He said that Heru was alone when arrested and had not been assigned to the narcotics division.

“The police are questioning four witnesses who are considered to be related to the case and know about Heru’s use drug usage,” he said at his office.

“He bought the drugs from four places in Bekasi, Cibarusah and Jakarta.”

Rikwanto added that there had been reports that Heru had been using drugs and an internal affairs team was therefore assigned to handle the case.

He said Heru would be charged with violating Articles 114 and 112 of the Narcotics Law, carrying a five-year sentence.

“We will continue the investigation. Afterwards we will bring the case to the court and there will be a professional ethics code hearing to decide his status,” he said.
