BNN Arrests Pilot Using Meth At Hotel

Surabaya (Antara Bali) - National Narcotics Agency (BNN) officers have arrested a Lion Air pilot after he was caught using methamphetamine in a room at the Garden Palace Hotel here on Saturday.

"The raid was led by BNN officers from Jakarta, along with BNN officers from East Java and officers from the East Java Regional Police Command's Directorate of Narcotics," the chief of BNN East Java, Senior Commissioner Jan De Fretes, said.

Police confiscated a packet of meth weighing 0.4 gram from the pilot, known by his initials SS. SS is reportedly 44 years-old and resides in Serpong,Tangerang, Banten.

De Fretes said when the raid was carried out, SS was found alone in the room. Before the raid, based upon initial information, he was playing cards with three friends. The three people were also interrogated.

"The three, however, were found to have negative drug tests, so we released them and only arrested SS for further interrogation," he said.(IGT/T007)
