A SUSPECTED “Drug Queen” and supplier of Kerwin Espinosa, tagged as one of the top shabu dealers in Eastern Visayas, surrendered to Police Chief Ronaldo dela Rosa in Camp Crame Monday morning.
Dela Rosa said Lovely Adam Impal surrendered to him and was immediately placed under police custody.
“Kerwin has mentioned a drug queen named Lovely Adam Impal who is of the same level as him. She surrendered to me this morning,” Dela Rosa said.
He said Impal implicated two police officers who allegedly protected her, and that one of them was her boyfriend.
Impal was accompanied by Chief Supt. Agripino Javier, the police director of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
“She got scared when Kerwin implicated her, and that’s why she surrendered because when your name comes out on national television, many people will be interested in you,” Dela Rosa said.
Espinosa also admitted having transacted with slain drug lord Jeffrey “Jaguar” Diaz, who had been known in Central Visayas as a top drug supplier.
Dela Rosa said Impal was brought to the Anti-Illegal Drugs Group office for questioning.
But Dela Rosa said he didn’t know if a warrant of arrest was out on Impal before she gave up, so he sent her to the AIDG for a thorough investigation.
“I will check if she has a pending warrant of arrest, but her surrender was an offshoot of the statement of Kerwin linking her to the drug trade,” Dela Rosa said.
