Mandaluyong Police files reckless imprudence complaint vs. Jake Cuenca


The Mandaluyong Police on Monday said it filed a complaint of reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property and disobedience to person in authority against actor Jake Cuenca before the prosecutor's office.

Mandaluyong police chief Police Colonel Mel Unos confirmed this to Super Radyo dzBB, according to a report by Mark Makalalad.

Unos also denied a settlement was reached that is why the actor was released from detention on Sunday.

Cuenca was arrested on Saturday night after his SUV allegedly bumped a police vehicle in Mandaluyong City.

According to Eastern Police District (EPD) director Police Brigadier General Matthew Bacay, Cuenca's car passed by and bumped the police vehicle at around 9 p.m.

Police said the SUV did not stop and so they chased it until they reached the area near Shaw Boulevard, Pasig City.

Cuenca's father on Sunday said the actor did not intentionally entice the police to chase him. Instead, the actor became fearful and in panic drove the vehicle away.

During the chase, police fired at the SUV's tires. A stray bullet hit a Grab driver on his right hip.

Bacay said the Grab driver's condition is stable as he is confined at a hospital. —KG, GMA News
