The Talisay City police arrested a 41-year-old woman for allegedly passing off fake toothpaste as the real McCoy.

Perla Devera could have gone her merry way had she not sold her toothpaste to PJO1 Aleto Gabuya who arrested her after discovering the oddity. Gabuya is assigned at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center.

He said the toothpaste made less bubbles and swore it was just flour. Gabuya said he gave P100 for two tubes of the "Colgate" toothpaste. Devera, a native of Quezon City and a temporary resident of Toledo City, is now detained at the Talisay City Police detention center.
