A Lion Air pilot has been arrested for consumption and possession of methamphetamines in Makassar, the National Narcotics Agency said on Wednesday.
“There was an arrest on Tuesday night. His initial is H.A., and he is confirmed to be a Lion Air pilot,” Sumirat, a spokesman for the agency known as BNN, said on Wednesday as quoted by VIVAnews.
Acting on a tip, BNN agents conducted a raid on the Clarion Grand Hotel in Makassar on Tuesday night. H.A. was allegedly found using methamphetamines, known locally as “shabu,” in a karaoke room in the hotel.

Officers also discovered additional packets of shabu in H.A.’s hotel room and on his person, as well as drug paraphernalia, VIVAnews reported.
BNN agents arrested five other people in the raid — two men and three females, one of whom is allegedly H.A.’s girlfriend, according to Detik news portal.
The narcotics agency is investigating the Lion Air pilot and his acquaintances to determine whether he is involved in drug-dealing or is just a user.
“We’re still developing this case,” Sumirat said.
In 2011, another Lion Air pilot, Muhammad Nasri, was arrested for drug possession along with his co-pilot, Husni Thamrin, at an apartment building in Tangerang.
