MANILA — The Quezon City police arrested a woman for trying to smuggle in drugs to her jailed live-in partner on Wedneday.
Quezon City Police District (QCPD) director, Chief Supt. Joselito T. Esquivel Jr., said Joan Dela Cruz, 41, of Barangay Balon Bato, was arrested around 2:45 a.m. as she attempted to visit her live-in partner, Crisencio Tismo, who was being detained at the Talipapa Police Station 3.
