When sought for comment, Garsano told Cebu Daily News Digital that he did not own the suspected shabu.
He said he was preparing himself and the things he needed to paint the house of his brother, when he was arrested.
He also denied selling illegal drugs, but he did admit that he allegedly used illegal drugs.
Garsano was detained at the Mambaling Police Station detention cell pending the filing of charges./dbs
