Camp Ruperto K. Kangleon, Palo, Leyte, December 6, 2012 – Eddie Garcia can no longer portray his real-life
villainous activities as the Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG8) stamped
out his evil deeds.
Eastern Visayas police director Police Chief Superintendent ELMER RAGADIO
SORIA said that the namesake of multi-awarded veteran actor Eddie Garcia, a
48-year old farm laborer from Brgy. Cavite, Alang-alang, Leyte was captured by
the elite team from the Police Regional Office 8 recently inside the
Alang-alang Cockpit Arena.
“He even tried to escape but our men
have already secured the entrance and exit points of the gallera,” SORIA said.
The Regional Director is hoping that
the arrest will finally bring justice to Garcia’s 13-year old daughter, a second
year high school student, whom he allegedly raped inside their house in the
evening of June 19, 2012.
Records showed that the victim sought
police assistance at the Alang-alang Police Station and after a thorough investigation.
A case for rape was filed against the suspect on June 25, this year.
On October 30, Judge Crisologo S.
Bitas issued an arrest warrant against Garcia for the crime of Rape under
Article 266-A of the Revised Penal Code as amended by Republic Act 8353 or the
Anti-Rape Law of 1997.
Judge Bitas did not recommend any bail
bond for Garcia’s temporary liberty.
Director SORIA said that
he is proud of his men who initiated the suspect’s arrest.
“This is a product of
dedication and excellent intelligence work that makes us all proud of our
police officers who deserve our highest commendation.” SORIA averred.
