Man gets 15 months for drugs

JAKARTA (JP): The South Jakarta District Court sentenced on
Monday an unemployed man to 15 months in prison for possessing
0.7564 grams of shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine).

The sentence handed down to Burhani, 28, was the same amount
of jail time sought by the prosecutor.

The defendant was arrested on Oct. 21 last year when the city
police's narcotics unit raided his residence on Jl. Kebalen in
Mampang, South Jakarta. During the raid, police found 15 small
packets of shabu-shabu hidden in match boxes.

The defendant, who was not accompanied by a lawyer during
sentencing, said he accepted the court's decision. (01)
