 DominicanToday.com - Police general Miguel de la Cruz Reyna on Friday revealed that the agents who sprung their colleague out of the courthouse jail cell on Thursday did so to protect his life.
Although he didn’t justify the agents’ actions, De la Cruz affirmed that they acted on a “reliable” tip that their colleague Marino Alonzo Torres was about to be lynched by an armed group of “at least 10 people.”
The National Police also announced that De la Cruz has been suspended as the region's commander pending an investigation.
FILE.- Citizens were startled and indignant when National Police agents stormed a cell in the local courthouse to release by force a colleague jailed for his role in the June 3 shooting death of the youngster Emmanuel Diaz.
Duarte province prosecutor Regi Reyes said Thursday’s unprecedented development was an assault by police who took out by force Torres, blamed for Diaz’s death in an alleged shootout with agents.
He said despite that the detainee was in custody of the Office of the Prosecutor, senior officers headed the action he called unforgivable.
Local journalists demand penalties and claim that the police officers exerted police brutality during the action, in which agents assigned to the Northeast Region Command brought Torres out, violating the judge’s ruling of the three months in jail during the investigation.
The police beat several cameramen TV Telenord and photographers from other media covering the as-yet-unexplained incidents, which Police chief Jose A. Polanco vowed to “thoroughly” investigate.

Something about law enforcement breaking the law just goes along with everything else that happens in DR.

oh, now , the reason for this jail break was because of an alleged lynching by a mob of 10, like in the old western days of John Wayne.

What do you expect……………… in a Failed Narco State were Politicians come into government with holes in their shoes and leave in Bentleys?
What do you expect……………… where a Member of the PLD Mafioso Political Committee doesn’t pay a $RD 3, 000,000 million pesos light bill and when the company comes to turn the service off he threatens the utility workers with his armed goons?
What do you expect……………..in a country where the President violates the constitution for 8 consecutive years and steals the money for EDUCATION to build a Nationally USELESS METRO?
A state of SOCIAL ANACHRY!
This just the Tip of the Iceberg!
