FlyAway Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Surprised no one has mentioned this article here. Not the type of publicity ex pat's need. ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines—A 61-year-old American was arrested in Dipolog City on Monday afternoon for indiscriminately shooting at passing vehicles, police said Wednesday. Superintendent Reynaldo Maclang, Dipolog police chief, said drivers and passengers of public utility vehicles called the police’s attention after they were allegedly shot at by Ralph Edward Hughey. No one was hurt in the incident, he said. Hughey was temporarily residing in Dipolog’s Galas district. Maclang said police responded to the complaint and arrested Hughey, who was caught in possession of two handguns – a Forjas Taurus Millenium PT 145 and a .45-caliber pistol. “The suspect failed to present pertinent documents,” he said, adding that Hughey was to be criminally charged. http://globalnation....cles-in-Dipolog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for why it has not been mentioned, we are hoping that members will post the stories which they feel are of interest to them, and I have been kicking back lately and leaving it more to the members. I read them but I do not post them as often unless I feel that it is something that members really need to be aware of, so thank you for posting it and please feel free to post other stories that interest you or that you feel will interest members, and that goes for all of our members as well. Oh and yes that is not good for any of us to have a kano doing something such as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyAway Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 How is this for adding confusion to the pot. Found this article in the Goldstar Daily. Dated Toaday 2/11/2011First paragraph says someone named Mervin was shot. Later in the next paragraph they say "intentionally shot him (Mervin)" then "Fortunately Mervin was not hit even his passengers"American national goes wildA certain Mervin Balucos Zamoras, 29 years old, married and a resident of Sitio Lubing Oguis, Galas, Dipolog City was shot by an American national last week at 12:00 noon when he took his four passengers into their residence in the same barangay. Mervin is the owner and at the same time driver of the passenger motorcab loaded with four passengers on board, was plying along barangay road of Sitio Bagakayan of the same barangay heading towards the city proper of Dipolog. Mervin told this paper that when they reach the façade of the residence of his relative in the same barangay, a certain American national named Ralph Hagey Edward, 61 years old, married and temporarily residing in the said barangay, intentionally shot him (Mervin) with the use of a Forjas Taurus Millenium PT145PRO cal. 45 ACP with serial number NCS90070. Fortunately Mervin was not hit even his passengers. Consequently, Dipolog PNP arrested the said perpetrator and confiscated from his possession the firearm which was loaded with one magazine with seven live ammos, one spare magazine loaded with eight live ammonition for cal. 45 and one empty shell of cal. 45. The suspect failed to present pertinent papers required by law in terms of possessing and carrying said firearm and ammo. The suspect is now temporarily detained at DCPS pending for filing of appropriate charges in court.http://www.goldstard...--ix&Itemid=288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
