At 1 am on Sunday, the Pattaya Police detained Mr. Som-sak A-non, aged 26 in possession of a 9mm. Thai modified pistol. The suspect was arrested on Soi 13/1 Pattaya Beach Road. The suspect and his gang had assaulted
and beaten a tourist, and used the gun to threaten the tourist.
The police on patrol were monitoring the International fireworks festival along the 2 kilometers of beach road, as well as the many visitors participating. While patrolling Soi 13/1, the officers found Som-sak and his thugs attacking a tourist, and using a gun to threaten him. At this point the police stopped the commotion, and booked the suspect; however, his hooligans had fled the scene.
The suspect confessed that he and his bother “OFF” attacked the tourist because his former girlfriend, who is a prostitute on Pattaya Beach, was approached and touched by this foreigner. The suspect was drinking nearby with his gang of ruffians, and became quite angry and jealous when he saw the tourist encounter the ex-girlfriend. Somsak then persuaded his brother to attack the tourist, and he pulled out his weapon to threaten the man as well.
Later, the Police took Somsak to find his brother at their rented room on South Pattaya Road. After a while, the brother came walking up to his room, but was alerted about the presence of the lawmen, and quickly fled the scene.
However, Police investigations will continue.
