Santo Domingo.- The DNCD on Thursday announced the arrest of a man for selling marijuana to motorists at a truck stop on the Duarte highway, in central Monseñor Noel province.

In a statement, the DNCD said the Edwardo "had scissors used to prepare the portions, 200 pesos in cash, money seemingly the profit from the first sale he had made, and a cell phone."
