PANIQUI,
Tarlac -- From law enforcer to law-breaker.
The Tarlac Criminal Investigation and
Detection Group here arrested a former policeman for involvement in illegal
drugs.
Former PO2 Rodel Cortez Domacia was
apprehended at his residence in Barangay Tablang here after a court-issued
search warrant was served.
Chief Insp Angelo Nicolas said, “We have been
closely monitoring the activities Domacia because of persistent reports that he
is into illegal drugs”.
Domacia is a former cop of this town’s police
station but in 2013 he was found positive of drug use in a random drug test of
police personnel along with PO3 Emmerson Garcia.
When the result of the police random drug
test was released, Domacia went on Absence-Without-Official-Leave (AWOL) and
was consequently dismissed from the service.
He was reported to have hidden somewhere in
Ilocos for several months.
Garcia, on the other hand, was arrested in a
buy-bust in Gerona town in possession of more than 13 grams of shabu.
“He must have been warned of our operation
that’s why he was able to ‘clean’ his house but it is good he did not resist
arrest”, said Nicolas who personally led the raid on the house of Domacia.
Three live ammunitions and drug
paraphernalia, including several pieces of used aluminum foils with drug
residue, where seized from Domacia’s house.
Domacia, who again tested positive of drug
use, will be charged of violation RA 10591 and RA 9165, Nicolas said.
