MANILA, June 5 -- The National Police Commission (Napolcom) on Friday said Corporal Simeon Suan, who went viral for forcibly handcuffing and dragging a 76-year-old driver following a minor traffic collision in Taguig City last week, is now AWOL, or absent without official leave, for the third time.

Speaking at the Kapihan ng Samahang Plaridel forum in Manila, Napolcom Commissioner Rafael Calinisan reported that the relieved Rizal police officer had again left his post without permission.

"He is not reporting to work anymore and is now AWOL, and for the record it is his third time to go on AWOL. He has been AWOL twice before. He has not been on leave for many days. I don't understand why he is back in service," he said.
