TV host-actor Billy Crawford has been released from detention after posting bail Monday afternoon at the Taguig Regional Trial Court. Crawford is facing charges of malicious mischief and disobedience to a person in authority after causing a ruckus at a police station in Taguig City early morning of Sunday – mere hours after attending the Star Magic Ball. He has acknowledged his fault and has apologized for his actions.
Meanwhile, one of the officers involved in the case, PO1 Rodelma Canao, recounted details of the incident to “Bandila.” She narrated, “…Madaling araw po (nangyari ang insidente)… Pumasok po si Mr. Crawford po. Malakas na po ’yung boses po. Tinanong po naming kung ano po ’yung problema niya, kung ano po ’yung maitutulong po namin. Ang sabi po niya, ‘Gusto kong pumunta sa headquarters po ninyo. ’”
She added that a seemingly incensed Crawford threatened to wreck the place. “Sa laking tao po niya ma’am, kahit po malaki po kaming dalawa, tapos influenced po ng alak, hindi po namin siya mapigilan po ma’am,” Canao added. Nevertheless, she maintained that they have already forgiven Crawford, going on to clarify, “Wala po siyang sinuntok na tao po dito.”
Crawford and girlfriend Coleen Garcia are currently on indefinite leave from “It’s Showtime.”
