Priest’s Santo Entierro image has cops suspecting body wrapped in plastic

A priest who was on his way home was flagged down at a police checkpoint after the authorities became suspicious of what looked like a human body wrapped in plastic inside his vehicle.

According to a report on "Saksi", it turned out that Fr. Jonel Peroy of the Diocese of Kidapawan was transporting an image of the Santo Entierro, which he bought in Digos City in time for the coming Holy Week.

The police have since apologized to Peroy. —NB, GMA Integrated News
