BOGOR (JP): Local police shot an alleged drug dealer in his
right leg after the man, identified as Mayer Gultom, 27, tried to
escape a drug bust at his house in a small alley of Gg. Kutilang
II in Gunung Batu, an officer said on Monday.

According to outgoing Bogor Regional Police chief, Col. Hari
Setyabudhi, a total of half a kilogram of ganja was seized as

"During questioning, the suspect admitted to having
distributed marijuana here for the past two years. He sold it to
rich residents in Bogor," Hari said.

Besides Gultom, police separately detained two other drug
dealers, identified as Ade Saefudin, 27, who was arrested in
Gunung Batu, and Yosri Rozali, 30, who was nabbed in Cibuluh,

From both men, police confiscated two ganja plants, which were
each one-meter high, and three ounces of dried marijuana.

"Both Ade and Yosri also admitted to having sold marijuana
here for the past couple of years," Hari said. (24/edt)
