ILOILO City – A drug pushing suspect who fled from policemen who tried to entrap him on June 8 in Barangay Tanza Baybay, City Proper surfaced yesterday.
Around 3 p.m. Joseph Jasper Duran of Barangay Divinagracia, La Paz district appeared at Police Station 1 (ICPS1) accompanied by his mother Mila and wife Rachel.
He said he feared for his life but he cleared his name, said Chief Inspector Aldrin Lamera, Police Station 1 chief.
Duran was a newly identified suspected drug personality and reportedly a nephew of fugitive suspected drug lord Richard Prevendido, according to Lamera.
Police Station 1 subjected Duran to a buy-bust but the suspect managed to flee after realizing he was dealing with policemen, said Lamera.
Duran and a woman companion, the 23-year-old Niña Piranda of Barangay Tanza Bayabay, boarded a taxi to flee.
Several hours after, Piranda was arrested at RBR beach resort in Arevalo district.
Police Station 1 did not detain Duran yesterday. Lamera said no arrest warrant was yet issued against the suspect.
“Besides that, our hot pursuit operation already lapsed. What we can do is to record that he surrendered in our office,” said Lamera.
Police Station 1 charged Duran and Piranda with violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002./PN
