ILOILO City – A member of the Armed Forces of the Philippines was arrested inside the police station of Pototan, Iloilo for illegal possession of firearm.
Private First Class Jeffrey Carado, 29, of Barangay Cauayan, Pototan was then detained.
According to Pototan police chief, Senior Inspector Bonifacio Alabe, Carado entered the police station unruly on Dec. 22 and demanded an explanation from policemen about what they supposedly did to his friend.
The cops chastised Carado’s drunken friend for being rowdy at the Pototan public plaza where a food festival was being held.
Carado did not like the policemen’s explanation and got mad, said Alabe.
Because Carado was himself unruly and armed with a .45 pistol, policemen disarmed and detained him.
Carado was assigned at the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division based in Jamindan, Capiz.
“I don’t know what his friend told to him but he went to our office and demanded an explanation,” Alabe said.
The Pototan police discovered that Carado’s gun had no license.
“We arrested him because he acted like he was about to pull out his gun. He initially resisted arrest,” said Alabe.
Carado was reportedly undergoing training in Negros Occidental and he was on vacation at the time of his arrest.
He faces a charge for violation of the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act./PN
