Police on Monday, June 21, filed drug charges against former Philippine boxing champion Eden Sonsona following his arrest in General Santos City over the weekend.
Sonsona, 32, was arrested during a buy-bust operation at a Chinese cemetery in Bagangga, Barangay Apopong, during the weekend.
Major Patrick Elma, Makar police station commander, said the former boxer who has since become a gym instructor, was slapped with complaints of breaking provisions in the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, specifically on substance abuse, selling, and possession of illegal drugs.
Elma alleged that Sonsona also tested positive for illegal drug use.
Police said that two agents who posed as buyers bought from Sonsona three sachets of suspected crystal meth or shabu.
Elma did not say how much the three sachets cost but said one of the P500 bills allegedly given to the former boxing champion was marked money.
He said the suspect, a cousin of another boxing sensation, former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super flyweight champion Marvin Sonsona, was under police surveillance for months until his arrest.
Eden Sonsona was a two-time Philippine bantamweight champion before he won the WBC international super featherweight title in 2017.
In his professional boxing career, Sonsona had a record of 36 wins with 13 knockouts, 13 losses, and two draws. – Rappler.com
