PAGADIAN CITY,
Zamboanga del Sur, Jan. 2 (PNA) -- The police have arrested in a manhunt
operation the chief security officer of a government fish port for his
involvement in the New Year’s Eve shooting incident in this city, an official
announced Thursday.
The suspect, Rodolfo
Calago, a retired soldier and now the chief security officer of the city
government fish port, was arrested Wednesday following an almost two-day
manhunt operation.
Local police chief
Supt. Glenn Dulawan said Calago was arrested by his personnel backed by policemen
from the Provincial Public Safety Company at a checkpoint in the municipality
of Tigbao, this province.
Prior to the incident, Dulawan said Calago engaged in a heated argument at the fishing port with Macario Tingson, 52, a businessman of Tukuran town, this province.
Dulawan said Calago
left the fishing port after the verbal tussle with Tingson.
However, Calago shot
Tingson’s vehicle hitting the driver, Allan Chavez, 52, at Purok Bougainvilla-2
while the businessman and Chavez were on the way home to Barangay San Pedro,
this city.
Chavez was
recuperating at the hospital from a bullet in his buttock, Dulawan said.
Calago went into
hiding after the incident that prompted the police to launch a manhunt
operation that resulted to his arrest in the town of Tigbao, according to
Dulawan.
He said appropriate
charges will be filed against Calago, who is detained at the local police
headquarters. (PNA)
