Kapanlagi.com - Eko Nova Prasetyo (27), a student in Malang, was arrested by the police after being caught with marijuana plants planted in a flower pot. A 32 cm tall marijuana tree was confiscated from his boarding house in the Dinoyo area of Malang City.

The marijuana tree was purchased by Eko from his friend who is currently still a fugitive. The tree was bought about a month ago for Rp300,000 with a height of about 10 cm.

"The tree cost Rp300,000 and the seeds cost Rp100,000. In total, Rp400,000," he said in a press release at the Malang City Police Station on Thursday (30/7).

1. Never Consumed Marijuana

Eko admits that he has never consumed the marijuana he planted, but the officers have caught him. The marijuana plant is being heated on the back wall of his boarding house.

The Chief of Police of Malang City, Commissioner Pol Leonardus Simamarta, said that the suspect was drying the marijuana plant behind his boarding house. Meanwhile, the marijuana seeds were stored in a jar found in his room.

"The suspect bought it from someone who we are currently looking for. The suspect planted it for personal consumption," he said.

2. 4 Years in Prison

Leo emphasized that rice husks were also found at the location, which are likely to be used for planting again. Therefore, the origin of the marijuana is being investigated.

For his actions, the man from Sukomulyo, Lamongan, is being held in custody for the legal process. The suspect is charged under Article 111 paragraph 1 of Law Number 35 of 2009, with a minimum prison sentence of 4 years.

The suspect is considered to possess, store, or provide Category 1 narcotics in the form of marijuana plants.
