ILOILO City – A retired fireman has been arrested for possession of firearms with expired licenses, a police report showed.

Police caught Hilarion Sotomil, 63, of Barangay Calaboa, Leganes, Iloilo wielding a Taurus .40 handgun loaded with eight live ammunition.

Officers frisked Sotomil and found a .22 pistol loaded with another eight live ammunition tucked in his waist.

The firearms with expired licenses and their ammunition seized from Sotomil. IAN PAUL CORDERO/PN

Sotomil was hauled to the Leganes police station after his arrest at around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Sotomil told Panay News he just fired his .40 handgun after hearing two gunshots while sending a drunken man out of their house.

“May nagsulod sa balay namon nga hubog, ginpagwa ko,” he claimed without identifying the drunken man. “Naggwa man kag ginsunod ko. Pag-abot ko sa gwa, may nabatian ako duha ka lupok.”/PN
