A speeding motorist was arrested in Gualo Rai after methamphetamine or \u201cice\u201d was allegedly found in his vehicle Sunday midnight.<\/p>\n
According to police detective Jeffrey I. Norita, Juan Delos Reyes Tydingco, 39, confessed that he was given the 1.5 gross grams of \u201cice\u201d to sell for $270 by a male Chinese.<\/p>\n
His bail was set at $20,000 cash. Preliminary hearing is on Dec. 3, 2015 at 9am.<\/p>\n
Assistant public defender Cindy Nesbit was appointed as counsel for Tydingco.<\/p>\n
Norita stated in his report that a police sergeant was conducting speed enforcement along Middle Road when his laser speed device tracked a northbound Toyota Corolla with license plate ACH-169 traveling 50 miles per hour near Springs Plaza in Gualo Rai.<\/p>\n
The police sergeant chased the car, which then stopped on the shoulder of the road across BEQ Building.<\/p>\n
The officer found that the driver was Tydingco, who was with a woman.<\/p>\n
Tydingco identified himself as \u201cPaul\u201d and told the officer that he did not have his driver\u2019s license and that the car belonged to a friend.<\/p>\n
During a consent search of the car, the officer found two baggies that contained \u201cice\u201d hidden inside the air-conditioning vent.<\/p>\n
At first, Tydingco denied owning the baggies of \u201cice,\u201d but later confessed that it was given to him so he could sell it.<\/p>\n
The female companion told police that the \u201cice\u201d belonged to Tydingco, who panicked during the violator stop and handed it to her to hide it.<\/p>\n
The woman said she hid the baggies in the vent and that Tydingco lied to the officer that his name is \u201cPaul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said the substance tested presumptive positive for \u201cice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda appeared for the government at the hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
