Late last night in Phuket, a 45 year old man was apprehended by police after he fired a rifle into the air near his neighbours due to a dispute over noise and waste disposal. He was also charged with drunk driving.

 

According to Thalang Police Deputy Chief Pol. Lt. Col. Patiwat Yodkwan, officers were alerted of the incident at 10.18pm. Reports said there had been a series of gunshots heard from the vicinity of the Supalai Essence Phuket housing estate in Moo 3, Srisoonthorn.

 

Arriving at the contentious location, officers noted a black Isuzu pickup truck being driven out of the alley, The Phuket News reported. This vehicle was flagged within the police reports as being affiliated with the suspected gunman.

 

After they intercepted the pickup, officers discovered Pramuan Hongsiri behind the wheel, intoxicated. They then proceeded to execute a thorough search of the vehicle. In the process, they discovered a legal .22-calibre CZ rifle, accompanied by a magazine and gun cover. Police also found 55 .22-calibre bullets.
