Mamicpic was carrying a plastic bottle of peanut butter and bread, according to Dumaguete City Police Chief Police Lt. Col. Joeson Parallag. The duty jail guard suspected such peanut butter when he was inspected.

Meanwhile, authorities nabbed a jail visitor who attempted to sneak illegal drugs into the Silang Custodial Center in Cavite by putting them inside rice for a fellow inmate. Before entering, a Duty Custodial Facility Officer inspected the food he was bringing as part of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
After a thorough inspection, the inspector discovered two sachets of suspected illegal narcotics known as “shabu” intermingled with the bagged rice. The apprehended defendant was accused of breaking RA 9165’s Section 11 Article II.
