The Daily Star - Police arrest suspect for drug possession - April 15, 2011

BEIRUT: A police chase in the southern suburbs of Beirut ended with the arrest of a man on suspected possession of drugs, the Internal Security Forces said Thursday. 
Members of the Mount Lebanon police pursued 29-year old Ali Hajj Hassan in the Cocodil-Hay al-Sellum area and shot at the tires of his Jeep Cherokee, forcing him to stop. 
The police confiscated 6 kilograms of hashish that were allegedly in Hajj Hassan’s possession. Also, a Mount Lebanon police patrol arrested a 31-year-old man who is wanted on five outstanding arrest warrants and has been convicted of fraud, forging currency and writing bad checks. 
The perpetrator was caught in an apartment in the Metn town of Jouret al-Ballout along with two other individuals, who were also arrested for allegedly possessing hashish and drug paraphernalia.
