Cop
mauled, loses gun
A Caramoran lawman trying to stop four men from mauling a barangay official instead got the ire of the troublemakers, who attacked him and escaped with his service firearm last New Year's day.
The report sent to the new PNP provincial director, Supt. Freddie O. Panen, said that Caramoran police station member SPO1 Ernesto Alino y Samas, 39, married and of Datag, was watching a dance at the barangay plaza at midnight of Jan. 1 when a commotion erupted nearby.
A group composed of Carlos Solsona, Jr. y Barra, 34, alias "Kadong," married and a farmer; Felix Solsona y Barra, alias "Bakal," 23, single; Arnulfo Tuldac; and, Ramon Francisco created trouble by mauling barangay kagawad Nestor Sunguad, 39, married and a farmer from Supang.
When SPO1 Alino tried to pacify Solsona's group, they turned on the cop. Carlos landed a punch on the lawman's right eye while the others boxed and kicked the victim in the different parts of his body.
The outnumbered lawman tried to fight back by drawing his handgun and firing a warning shot in the air but suspects Tuldac and Felix Solsona wrestled the gun from him before running away with their companions.
The following day at 9 A.M., accompanied by Mayor Francisco Idanan, the Solsona brothers voluntarily surrendered to the police and turned over the cal. 45 handgun with five live bullets and a spent slug.
