Problem farang in Chiang Mai: American's in custody and will be deported

People in Chiang Mai can breathe a sigh of relief after an out-of-control American responsible for a string of incidents in the northern Thai city was arrested for a second time. 

 

James F., 46 - who had been calling himself Daniel Park on Facebook - is now in custody. 

 

He had damaged traders' property in the Ruamchok area, been filmed calling Thais "gooks" and reportedly even attacked a Ronald McDonald statue. 

 

But when he pushed over a mailbox it proved to be the final straw for the authorities.

Pol Col Natthaphon Kaewkamnert of the Mae Jo police led a team that believed the man responsible would return to the scene of the latest crime. 

 

They had been to his room as they knew his identity as he had been released earlier ahead of a court date. 

 

A person claiming to be the man had told a Thaivisa reporter that he had been evicted and was due in court on Boxing Day. He said he would welcome deportation before he threatened our reporter. 

 

The man was finally arrested again near the site of the now missing mailbox. 

 

He was found to be a US citizen on a three month tourist visa. He blamed being very drunk on the mailbox attack. 

 

A post office official said that the mailbox was being replaced with a new one. Niyom told CM 108 that 13,000 baht damage had been caused but that all the mail was undamaged.

Police confirmed to the media that this was the same man responsible for all the trouble. He already faces a court date but further charges will be added to the rap sheet.

 

The man will remain in custody and when everything is settled he will be deported, said police.

Bye bye and good riddance. 

[elektrified]

Good news!

 

Maybe give him an injection of Haldol or something before he boards the plane! I would not want to be on a plane with this guy unless he was restrained in a straitjacket. Also he has a habit of spitting at people which is a concern.

[seasia]

Good that he will be going then

 

 

[racket]

I don’t know what to say. Deport him and ban for at least 500 years so that his children won’t step foot here either. 

[KamnanT]

I will try to be charitable and assume mental health and/or substance abuse challenges in his life. In either case, he should be sent home and placed in the care of his own country's authorities, hopefully to receive the care he clearly needs. Alas, in the US, unless he has family who care, it's quite possible he will just end up on the streets.

[Thian]

I doubt if the mailbox was damaged, it wasn't mounted properly anyway....

[briansbiology]

not excusing his behaviour at all. but he obviously has serious mental problems. mental problems and Thai culture are not ever happy bed-fellows.

I think airports have boxes enough to transport big dogs too... Just add the note "do not feed, do not put your hand inside the box"

[worgeordie]

Well he is going to get what he asked for,to get deported, 

spare a thought for those that are going to have to

travel on the plane with him.

It was mounted correctly and conformed to improper Thai standards.

[metisdead]

A post of a profane nature has been removed. 

[Matzzon]

At least one scum of the earth is taken away so it´s easier for immigration to find the rest of the crazed foreigners.

[legend49]

Sad he is going now the local media will have no news, they have flogged this story a lot.

Not sure how the sturdiness of the mail box is relevant to this nit wit's actions

How secure is your mailbox? Will I send him around to find out? ????

You can also help him, mine is very solid.

[cardinalblue]

Mental issues plus alcohol abuse...

 

plane ride home - in custody?

 

he needs to be controlled on the plane in a high risk environment...

 

he must have a background story to explain his history and issues...

 

13k for damage? To mount it upright? Hard to damage a steel box...maybe the money is for a civil engineer to do sidewalk repairs clearly in need....MJ sidewalks are a walking hazard...

I sense a few extras being hopefully added on that 'settled' 

[IAMHERE]

Sure hope somebody informs the airplane crew to not feed this guy alcohol on the flight. 

[Sergeant]

Here is a very good example that the Thai Police do their job that immigration always wanting to get evolved with foreigners living in Thailand. Outstanding Police with out the TM 30.

Job well done and Thank you.

if mentally ill he'll probably end up behind bars in the States where they house most patients who are not affluent..

Farang pushed it over = 13,000 Baht 

 

Thai pushed it over = 1,300 Baht 

 

????

[Tropposurfer]

So they arrested more than one Yank? “American’s in custody.”

Get the guy home n assessed by a good mental health clinician cause he’s either got a kangaroo loose in the top paddock or he’s a d head.

Heaven help us if he ever breeds, what a role model!

[crickets]

[Magenta408]

Tar and feather the <deleted> and the hog tie him and let him travel cargo for the duration and I'm not talking economy.
