An alleged fake lawyer was arrested following an entrapment operation by personnel of Bacolod City Police Station 9 in the city’s Barangay Sum-ag last Thursday, November 3.

Police identified the arrested as 41-year-old Jonelly Lacson.

Station commander, Police Captain Rondyl Tapang said Lacson had at least five complainants. 

One of the complainants even claimed that the suspect introduced herself as a lawyer and promised to bail out the complainant’s partner in jail.

The victim paid P1,000 to Lacson, but the suspect asked for an additional P30,000.

Police are now preparing criminal charges, and the police station is calling on other victims to surface and file charges against her./DGB, WDJ
