"STARSTRUCK" Season 6 Ultimate Male Survivor Migo Adecer was arrested Tuesday evening, March 26, by the Makati police after a hit-and-run incident that hurt two persons.
Major Gideon Ines, Makati deputy chief for operations, said Adecer, whose real name is Douglas Errol Dreyfus Adecer, 19, was arrested around 6 p.m. along J.P. Rizal St. corner Pertirra Street, Barangay Poblacion in Makati City.
He said Adecer, who was then driving a white sports car, first hit a motorcycle in Barangay Poblacion.
The driver of the motorcycle, Rogelio Formelos Castillano, and his passenger, Michelle Gallova Papin, who were both employees of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, were both hurt in the incident.
Instead of helping Castillano and Papin, Adecer ignored them and sped off, prompting the police officers to chase him.
Adecer was cornered along N. Garcia St. and even tried to evade arrest, hitting a police patrol mobile, said Ines.
He said Adecer, who seemed to be under the influence of alcohol, also became unruly and refused to surrender his license.
Police also found that before the incident, Adecer was also involved in another traffic violation in Rockwell on Tuesday afternoon for driving recklessly. He surrendered his driver's license for that incident.
Police said Adecer was holding two licenses.
Adecer will face charges for reckless imprudence resulting in physical injuries and damage to property and disobedience to person in authority. (SunStar Philippines)
