AMERIKANONG WANTED SA US SA KASONG ASSAULT, DINAKIP NG BI-FSU

INARESTO ng Bureau of Immigration (BI) ang isang American national na wanted sa United States sa kasong assault.

Ayon kay BI-Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) chief Rendel Ryan Sy, ang operasyon ay may coordination sa U.S. goverment, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Regional Field Unit 11, Police Station 18 ng Davao City Police Office at government intelligence forces,kung saan nadakip si James Charles Davis, 53, gabi ng August 5 sa isang condominium unit sa J.P. Laurel Avenue, Barangay 20-B Poblacion, Davao City.

“The operation followed a request from the US government for BI assistance concerning Davis, who is the subject of an arrest warrant issued by a Massachusetts trial court earlier this year. He is wanted in connection with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of assault, under Massachusetts law,” ani Sy.

Batay sa BI records, pumasok si Davis sa Pilipinas noong March 4 bilang turista at ayon kay Sy, “verification further showed that he had no subsequent record of visa extension or conversion, making him an overstaying foreign national.”

Si Davis ay nasa kustodiya ng Police Station 18 ng Davao City Police Office bago ilipat sa Maynila. (JERRY S. TAN/JOJO SADIWA)
