ILOILO City – A police officer was accused of poking a gun at a town councilor in Barangay Dunglaan, Anilao, Iloilo.
On Saturday, Police Officer 1 Joeno Aquilasca was detained at the Anilao police station. He was connected with the Regional Holding and Accounting Office of the Police Regional Office 6.
According to Senior Inspector Jess Baylon, Anilao police chief, the incident happened around 11 p.m.
Aquilasca, along with Rommel Sumaylo and Raffy Lagamon – all residents of Barangay Palaypay, Anilao – mauled a group of persons they suspected of pelting their vehicle in Barangay Dunglaan, said Baylon.
Sangguniang Bayan member Eduardo Jorque tried to stop the mauling, said Baylon, but got Aquilasca’s ire.
After Aquilasca and his companions left, Jorque alerted the Anilao police station.
Baylon said his men were able to find Aquilasca. The cop turned over his service firearm – a .9mm pistol – to the Anilao police.
“Aquilasca faces criminal and administrative charges,” said Baylon.
The Anilao police also later raided the house of Lagamon on the strength of a search warrant from the Regional Trial Court. Cops recovered 11 sachets of shabu, an M16 armalite rifle and a grenade.
Sumayo, who was at Lagamon’s house, yielded a .9mm pistol and a .22 revolver.
The two were taken to the Anilao police station, too.
Baylon said the two faces illegal gun charges./PN
