Kapamilya host and actor Billy Crawford was charged with multiple cases in the Taguig City Prosecutor’s Office on Monday, September 8, 2014 as he underwent inquest proceedings for his controversial arrest after the Star Magic Ball.
In a news report from Radyo Inquirer 900 AM, charges of malicious mischief and disobedience to authority were filed against the 32-year-old Billy Crawford, who went berserk at a Taguig City Police Station. He was allegedly drunk and demanding female desk officers there to detain him early Sunday.
In a separate report, the police brought the host-actor sans any handcuff with his lawyers to the Taguig City Hall of Justice shortly before 10:00 AM. In less than an hour, the inquest proceedings finished. The report also noted that Billy Crawford will remain under the custody of the police.
Billy Crawford already issued an apology, following the incident, for making a scene at the Taguig Police Community Precinct (PCP) 7 in Bonifacio Global City. In an earlier interview with the host and actor, he stated that it was his fault, but denied the rumors that he hurt anybody during the incident.
The It’s Showtime host and actor was quoted as saying “It was my fault for actually being aggressive. It’s a good thing it didn’t happen in a bar, it didn’t happen anywhere elese. It happened in a precinct. The reason why is because I knew for a fact I needed to be in a controlled environment. So as I said, I really apologize to the officers If I said anything derogatory or anything else,” Billy Crawford stated.
Billy Crawford also admitted that during the time when he was handcuffed by the police, he calmed down.
