A CHEF was arrested for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition in the province of Zamboanga del Norte, the police said Monday, August 12.

Police Major Helen Galvez, Police Regional Office-Zamboanga Peninsula information officer, identified the arrested chef as Rudy Pilapil Carreon, 35, a resident of Purok 5 in Poblacion village, Sibutad, Zamboanga del Norte.

Galvez said Carreon was arrested around 9:40 a.m. Sunday following complaints of gun toting filed against him by Joel Doro-on Magdosa 43, a driver and a resident of Purok 6, Poblacion.

She said investigation showed that Magdosa went to the residence of Carreon purposely to mediate in the settlement of a dispute between his brother-in-law and the chef.

Galvez said Carreon was arrested by the responding police and confiscated from his possession caliber .38 revolver with ammunition. (SunStar Philippines)
