BAGUIO CITY -- Bangued, Abra mayoralty bet Ryan Luna has been brought to custody of the Provincial Police Office on Monday morning after allegedly hitting a voter.

Abra Provincial Police Office (PPO) director, Colonel Alfredo Dangani, said he brought Luna to the custody of the provincial police around past 8 a.m. on Monday following an incident near the oval in Bangued East Elementary School at the capital town.

Dangani said that based on Luna's report, he snatched the folder held by personnel of another mayoralty bet, Dominic Valera, which was being countersigned by voters who came from the precinct.

Police was able to pacify both sides and brought Luna to the provincial police office. (PNA)
