Mercedes-Benz driver’s taxi riders gun threat and drug use lead to charges

[snoop1130]

 

Police charged a Thai Mercedes-Benz driver after he threatened motorcycle taxi riders in the Thong Lor area of Bangkok with a gun and used crystal methamphetamine. His five friends were charged with using the drug.

 

The Thai man charged, 44 year old Chawin Chanintarawanich, crashed his Mercedes-Benz into a motorcycle taxi rider, 39 year old Kwanchai Tadee at 8.40am on Friday, August 25. Chawin shifted the blame to Kwanchai and got out of his car after the crash to confront him.

 

Chawin even banished a gun to threaten the taxi rider. He claimed he was a police officer and said he knew a lot of high-profile police officers. Chawin then punched Kwanchai in the face, making the encounter escalate. Friends of both parties attempted to engage in a fight but officers from Thong Lor Police Station intervened just in time.

 

Police then discovered 200 grammes of crystal meth in the Mercedes-Benz. This discovery prompted officers to subject both Chawin and five of his companions to a drug test, all of which yielded positive results. Furthermore, the officers later found that the registration plate Chawin used on the luxury car was fake.

 

The other five suspects were identified as a 40 year old man named Yuttana Chanprason, a 21 year old transwoman named Ittiphat Laohanusin, a 34 year old woman named Thamon Jarunan, a 21 year old man named Panjarat Chaipara, and a 36 year old woman named Jirunthanin Phisitthanon.

Another chance for the gov't and RTP to set things in the right path to lawfulness... it will most likely be squandered

Pretty stupid. Wins will only accept un-used crystal meth.

Nothing to do with being a Thai, a tax driver i, a hi-so or anything else.

 

It's plainly the madness related to drug consumption.

 

Climate change may not destroy the world as fast as drug use, drug abuse and all the madness it creates.

 

When a doomsday scenario unfolds with mad and violent junkies  all over the streets like a "B" rated movie, then all the money in the world won't help those who are making colossal money by closing their eyes on drug use, traficking within their nations or juristictions.
