In the third day of the methamphetamine conspiracy case against Mark Mayo before Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood, two admitted former distributors of the drug testified about the NCS-Dededo operation fronted by Lovelia Mendoza.
Both Joseph "Bow" Roman and Daniel Pangelinan are awaiting sentencing for their involvement in the drug ring and the events of May 10, 2018, when Mendoza assigned the men to pick up a package at the Barrigada post office. It had earlier been intercepted by law enforcement, who removed the drugs and inserted a tracking device.
Both men said they were to be paid with meth.
Text messages retrieved from Pangelinan's cell phone provided documentation of events after the pick-up of the package. The men believed they were being tailed by law enforcement and took evasive action.
