Former Police Union Director Pleads Guilty to Drug Importation

Two grandmothers in Cebu City have recently been arrested for involvement in illegal drug activities. Sosana Mevencio Villanueva, 63, was caught selling 8 grams of suspected shabu, claiming she engaged in drug dealing due to boredom and lack of income. In a separate incident, 74-year-old Leonora Lascuña was apprehended with 0.15 grams of shabu, reportedly acting as a drug runner without a prior police record. Meanwhile, in California, Joanne Segovia, a former police union executive, pleaded guilty to drug smuggling after being indicted for importing the opioid Tapentadol. Segovia received over 60 shipments of drugs from various countries, using her position to facilitate the operation. While facing a possible 20-year sentence, the nature of her charges evolved as prosecutors mistakenly identified one of the substances as fentanyl.
