Banglamung – Two allegedly intoxicated young men who were, according to Banglamung Police, breaking the current Covid-19 emergency decree by being out after curfew without a permit reportedly attacked the arresting officer while they were being arrested.

 

At around midnight yesterday (August 25th), the Banglamung Patrol Police arrested two men named as Mr. Suriya Mahamart, 25, and Mr. Chaisiri Rittidon, 22 who were allegedly intoxicated.

 

The two men were described as “extremely uncooperative” by Banglamung Police, reportedly using multiple verbal insults and refusing to show identification or proper paperwork when initially stopped. They also refused to submit to a standard blood-alcohol breathalyzer test.

 

Banglamung Police explained to local media that they were patrolling on Pattaya – Naklua Road before the Numchai Intersection. They spotted the two men driving a motorbike and allegedly weaving across lanes. Police decided to stop the suspects for a routine investigation and to determine if they had permission to be out during curfew.

Just do your job and lock them up for being a danger on the roads

Yes I am sure they will be a little more agreeable after a night in the cells......

The must be between 5 and 10 million of these useless young males in Thailand. The only solution, as I said in another post, is forced  labor.

I fail to see why simply weaving across lanes attracted the attention of the BIB.

I'm just amazed that police in Pattaya are let out after dark.

Does that come with a fry-up in the morning?

They were just doing what they do normally before the curfew getting drunk when nothing left they get on their motorbike and drive home no second guessing. The deserve to be stopped and jailed until they sober up just don't put a plastic bag over their heads?????

well done police a good job indeed 

The rustle of a plastic bag during the night might keep them on their toes.

I don't think they're let out here in Bangkok in the daytime too.

But I think we'll see a lot more stories in the media showing them doing their jobs thanks to Joe Ferrari.

But I'm not holding my breath.

If you are gonna go out driving a motorbike drunk, during curfew is probably the safest time. As long as you don't get caught.

BIB, midnight?

Oh must be a set-up.

I would think scammed.
