COTABATO CITY – A man wanted for attempted murder was arrested by police while queuing to receive his social amelioration cash aid in Tantangan town, South Cotabato, a radio network reported Sunday.
Combined police operatives led by Captain Romeo Albano Jr., Tantangan Police Station chief, collared Rockey Bakal Dondi, 49, resident of Purok Bagong Silang, Barangay Bukay Pait, at about 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the village hall, the Central Mindanao-based Notre Dame Broadcasting network said.
Dondi did not resist when the arresting cops served him the warrant issued by Surallah Regional Trial Court-Branch 26 Judge Felix S. Mesa, the radio report said.
Judge Mesa issued the warrant on June 25, 2018 and recommended P120,000 bail bond for arrest of Dondi in an attempted murder case pending against him, the report added.
Dondi was allowed to receive and keep his P5,000 cash aid while under custody at the Tantangan Municipal Police Station, it was learned. (Ali G. Macabalang)
