The Philippine National Police (PNP) has released the mug shot of singer and TV Host Billy Crawford after he was involved in a controversial incident at the Taguig City Police station on Sunday September 7, 2014.

In an interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday hours after he was held, Billy Crawford narrated what happened at the police station and why he went there.
“I was under the influence of alcohol. I actually went to the precinct, nasa Fort kami, sabi ko, ‘Pa-hold na lang ako, dito muna ako.’ Of course, they can’t do anything kasi wala naman akong ginagawa so they couldn’t hold me,” he said.
“I walked back outside and called a few people. I asked if they can just hold me. Then I went back and I said to the officer on duty, sinabi ko lang po na ‘Please i-hold niyo na lang ako dito kasi makakasakit pa ako ng tao at makakasakit pa ako sa sarili ko.’ And then nakabasag ako ng salamin,” he added.
Billy Crawford has already apologized about what happened and admitted that it he was his fault. He also denied that he hit a police officer.
According to the authorities, Billy Crawford may be facing charges of direct assault and disobedience of agent of authority, resisting arrest and malicious mischief.
