MANILA, Philippines–Model and chef Martin Jickain, former husband of actress Aiko Melendez, was handcuffed by Pasay City Police after he allegedly pointed his gun to a policeman early Friday.
Case investigator from the Pasay City Police Station said the gun-toting incident took place after the 31-year-old model and his companion Rommel Almoro, 27, had a verbal spat with another group in a restaurant at the corner of Sta. Monica service road and Roxas Boulevard.
To pacify the quarrel, policemen responded but Jickain resisted and pointed his gun at the police around 12:30 a.m.
Two magazines and 12 live bullets of a Ruger caliber . 380 pistol, including his two firearms licenses and a Permit to Carry Firearms Outside Residence, were confiscated from Jickain.
Jickain and Almoro are currently detained at the Pasay City Police Station.
They will face charges of direct assault, resisting arrest and violation of sections under Republic Act No. 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
After his annulment with Melendez was granted in 2010, Jickain remarried in 2012.
