Mr Adarkwa Dwamena, Manager of Kintampo Branch of National Investment Bank was last Saturday arrested by Kintampo Highway Police Patrol team for allegedly smoking Indian hemp in a bush near Kintampo Water Falls.
Assistant Superintendent of Police, Ansu Frimpong, Unit Commander at Brong Ahafo Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) has said.
He said the patrol team led by Police Inspector Simon Ayewuba during one of their routines spotted the suspect who was driving a Mercedes Benz car with registration number GR 9920 C suddenly parked it and entered the bush.
ASP Frimpong said the police personnel who became suspicious because he had kept long in the bush followed up and to their dismay, saw the suspect who pretended was attending nature's call, smoking some substance suspected to be Indian hemp.
He said the suspect was arrested and during a search on him, three wrappers of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp were found in his pocket.
ASP Frimpong said while the suspect was being escorted to the police station, he attempted to offer the police personnel GH¢25 (250,000 cedis) to release him, but they refused and handed the suspect, dried leaves and the money to the Kintampo District Commander of Police.
He said the police were investigating the matter.
