Año defends cop in altercation with foreigner in Makati village
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año defended Police Senior Master Sergeant Roland Von Madrona's actions during an altercation in Dasmariñas Village, Makati City, stating the officer acted appropriately.
Año explained there was reasonable cause for Madrona to arrest resident Javier Parra, who allegedly harassed and berated the police officer while drunk and topless.
The incident began when Madrona warned Parra's maid for not wearing a face mask, a violation of enhanced community quarantine guidelines.
A confrontation ensued when Parra verbally abused Madrona, questioning his enforcement of quarantine rules.
Año asserted that Madrona's attempt to arrest Parra was justified as hot pursuit.
Joint Task Force COVID SHIELD head Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar advised the public to comply with enhanced community quarantine guidelines to prevent conflicts with law enforcers.
