Buri Ram neighbourhood terrorised by ‘drug fiend’s’ daily rampages

By The Nation

 

 

Residents of Buri Ram’s Khaen Dong district have for two years been living in fear of an alleged drug fiend who goes berserk after 5pm almost every day.

 

In the evening, Prasit Toomram, 35, will grab his slingshot and begin firing rocks at people and their property, said locals.

 

So far, he has damaged cars in the area and crippled several of the neighbourhood’s dogs. He has been arrested multiple times but police have been unable to detain him for long because the charges have been minor, locals said.

 

Ruangnapha Vandamma, 23, said 20 households are suffering under this man’s daily rampages and “they have basically curfewed themselves for two years after 5pm”.

 

Locals believe Prasit takes some kind of drug that causes him to lose control. They have asked authorities to find a long-term solution as they are afraid that he might eventually go further than just hurting dogs.

Would you not think that after two years of this BS the residents would pool their resources and give him a good kicking........Thai style! ????

Who is talking about the police? and this is 1 person not a gang? Are we actually talking about the same thing here??

<deleted> test him. Almost certainly positive for Yaba. Then he will be gone for some time.

You think they have not tested him, would be foolish if the police had not done so as it would have been an easy way to put him away. So I doubt your speculation is right police are quite good at putting drug users behind bars.

They had someone bad like that a few years ago around our Village. Didn't last long, some people went to talk to the Head Man . A few day's later (Bad) was gone Never seen him again.

[mr mr]

back in canada they put these kind of dogs to rest for much less.

Pretty reasonable self defence to shoot someone who is firing sling shot missiles at you, isn't it?
