JAKARTA - Ridho Rhoma was arrested on March 25, 2017 for drug abuse. At that time he was arrested by the police with evidence of methamphetamine weighing 0.7 grams and a methamphetamine suction device. Even though at that time Ridho had just released a new song so that it not only made the family disappointed, many of his fans were also disappointed.
In the first case, Ridho was sentenced to prison for 10 months and rehabilitation for about 6 months. Ridho Rhoma was free after rehabilitation, but his sentence was added to 1.5 years in prison according to the cassation decision.
It seems that the punishment did not deter Ridho Rhoma. Because Ridho was arrested by the police again for a drug case on Sunday, February 7. Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus confirmed that his arrest was made in the Daan Mogot area.
"Yes, I just confirmed it first," he said over the phone. He was arrested by West Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Detective Unit investigators at around 04.00 WIB at the Ibis Hotel in the Daan Mogot area, West Jakarta. From his hands the police secured 0.7 grams of crystal methamphetamine and its suction device.
As if it were a myth, getting out of drugs after addiction is very difficult to do. The proof, prison did not deter Ridho Rhoma. Even several other artists also experienced the same experience as Ridho. Here are 4 artists who have been caught up in drug cases twice like Ridho Rhoma.
1. Sheila Marcia
Sheila Marcia was once involved in drug abuse and had to feel the cold of the iron bars. Sheila Marcia was first arrested by the police in 2008.
A year later, Sheila Marcia was again arrested by the authorities. Like Ridho Rhoma, he must return to prison to be accountable for his actions.
2. Roy Marten
Roy Marten had a chance to deal with the police over drug possession in 2006 with 3 grams of methamphetamine evidence. After receiving remission, Roy Marten was finally released in October 2006.
Not giving up, a year later, he was again arrested by the police for using shabu-shabu. As a result, the actor was imprisoned for 3 years and a fine of Rp. 10 million.
Gading's arrest, according to Gading, gave his family a severe blow. Gading even said that Roy's second arrest was one of the lowest points in his life. "When dad was caught again I said, Pah, this is the last one. If it was the third time, I would go to prison with daddy. From there daddy might think how come my son got to that extent," said Gading quoted by VOI from the YouTube channel Trans7 Official, Sunday, February 7th.
