Tumanggi sa Drug Test! PNP Tarlac ire-respeto ang driver na sangkot sa karambola sa SCTEX na tumangging magpa-drug test

The Tarlac City Police said that they would respect the wish of the driver involved in the fatal incident at the Tarlac City Toll Plaza in SCTEX, who refused to undergo a drug test.

In an interview, the Chief of Tarlac City Police, PltCol. Romel Santos said they cannot force the driver to undergo the procedure.

He also explained that they were focused on the possible charges that the driver may face in relation to the incident and not on his alleged drug use.

“Hindi daw po siya pumayag na magpa drug test, so on our part ang concern po namin dito is we are looking at a criminal aspect of the offense by the suspect, so we will not after that drug test,” Santos said.

Santos said that other agencies may proceed with the test.
