Ronnie Dayan, Senator Leila de Lima's former driver and alleged bagman, has been arrested by authorities in La Union, police said Tuesday.

Initial reports said police arrested Dayan Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in Sitio Turod, Brgy. San Felipe, San Juan, La Union.

ABS-CBN reporter Lady Vicencio, however, told DZMM that Dayan voluntarily surrendered to authorities.

Dayan reportedly told his sibling, a barangay official, of his desire to turn himself in so they asked Pangasinan Police's provincial director to ensure his safety.

Dayan has not been seen in his residence in Urbiztondo, Pangasinan since President Rodrigo Duterte tagged him as De Lima's lover and alleged link to the drug lords detained at the New Bilibid Prison.

An arrest warrant was issued against Dayan after he failed to appear in a House inquiry on the alleged narcotics trade inside the national penitentiary, where several witnesses said De Lima asked convicted crime lords to sell drugs to beef up her campaign kitty for the 2010 senatorial elections.

De Lima last week admitted her past romantic affair with Dayan, but maintained that she never accepted drug payoffs.

Dayan's arrest came a week after the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption offered P1 million for information on the whereabouts of Dayan.
