Billy Crawford's camp releases statement

Billy Crawford's camp has released an official statement regarding the singer-TV host's arrest and detention at the Taguig City Police Headquarters.

The "It's Showtime" host reportedly went to a Taguig community precinct at 4 am on Sunday, September 7, asking for assistance.

Billy, however, allegedly went berserk when he was told he would be taken to the headquarters. He then punched a female desk officer and damaged a glass door, which prompted the officers on duty to arrest and detain him.

But the statement from Billy's camp says he did not hurt anyone in the incident and that they are confident the truth will prevail.

Here's the statement as quoted by entertainment.inquirer.net:

“It is unfortunate that so many rumors are being circulated regarding an event which we will clear through the proper legal proceedings.”

“We thank the police for being professional while appropriate investigation on the incident is being conducted.”

“We ask media to respect Billy’s right to due process and privacy on this matter.”

“Rest assured that he did not hurt anyone and no one was injured as it’s not in his nature to do so.”

“We are confident that truth shall prevail in the end.”
