The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Tuesday announced that it preventively suspended the driver’s license of Wilfredo 'Willy' Gonzales, the retired police officer who was caught assaulting and gun-toting a cyclist, for 90 days.

In a statement, LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II said the temporary suspension will remain in effect amidst the pending results of the ongoing probe.

"Hindi pa ito ang final decision. Kasalukuyang ini-imbestigahan ang kasong ito at depende sa outcome ng pag-iimbestiga, maaring permanent revocation at lifetime na hindi na siya maiisyuhan ng driver’s license," he noted.

The LTO Chief said the show cause order against Gonzales will continue this Thursday, August 31 to give him a chance to explain why his driver’s license should not be revoked.

Mendoza earlier said LTO - National Capital Region (NCR) found that the former police was the original owner of the car he had ridden when the incident occurred.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has canceled the gun permit of Gonzales and confiscated the three caliber 45s registered under his name.
