Ronnie Dayan, Senator Leila de Lima's former driver and alleged bagman, has been arrested by authorities in La Union, police said Tuesday.
Police said Dayan was arrested Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in Sitio Turod, Brgy. San Felipe, San Juan, La Union.
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.
