LINGAYEN, Pangasinan –A police sergeant was arrested Sunday for firing his gun indiscriminately in Mangatarem town.

Chief Master Sergeant Raul Cayabyab, a resident of Barangay Olo Cafabrosan, Mangatarem, is now facing criminal and administrative charges for firing his gun multiple times at the JK Resort in nearby Barangay Caviernesan.

Mangatarem Police recovered 42 pieces of fired cartridge cases at the scene; and a nine-millimeter Glock generation 4 gun was seized from Cayabyab.

Meanwhile, Pangasinan police director, Col. Jeff Fanged, on Monday reiterated his warning against erring cops, including those who will engage in indiscriminate firing, especially this holiday season.

Fanged said he would not tolerate any illegal acts of his fellow cops.

“We will arrest erring cops even if they are part of our organization. The Philippine National Police (PNP) is relentless in its internal cleansing efforts to rid of scalawags and misfits in the organization,” he said. (PNA)
