Police Officer 1 Gregorio Rollan of Police Community Precinct 7 in Caloocan City is now facing charges against offenses he committed against precinct commander Senior Police Officer 2 Edilberto Safuentes.
Rollan is being charged with grave threat, unjust vexation, and challenging Safuentes to a gun duel last week.
“In his complaint, Safuentes alleged that Carlos Cia, the precinct’s helper, was drinking in front of their office shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve when the already-drunk Rollan arrived and told him to go with him and drink elsewhere. Just before they left, Safuentes told Carlos to put away the bottle because there might be an inspection. However, Rollan butted in and told Cia not to follow Safuentes because he said nobody is going to inspect the precinct anyway,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.
However, Rollan resented Safuentes’ warnings.
The report noted: “Safuentes went into his office but Rollan followed him and pointed his service firearm at the officer, prompting the other policemen to subdue him.”
