I assume from your amazement that you don't visit Immigration, the modes of dress are often weird and wonderful, which is why Immigration Jomtien at one time issued a dress code, don't know if it's still valid. Will admit that I tend to wear more formal attire (long pants/trousers and polo shirt) when I visit Immigration.

As everyone should

This type of behaviors (damaging properties and running away) will be followed by legal troubles and won't be a great idea for someone who is on extensions????. He could be deported and black listed (depends on the court).????

Funny how quick you all are to condemn him.

 

My guess is that he did not get his deposit back from the landlord and therefore sought to take matters into his own hands.

Why MR John?

It is a criminal matter from the report he committed criminal property vandalism.

Just another loser who gives Falang a bad reputation.  Hope they deport him.

Well deserved. I'm American, and they mostly deserve it. That's why I moved to Thailand.

Isn't this a civil matter?

The act of causing damage is criminal. The cost of the damage is civil.

[MangoKorat]

I'm wondering how all this information came to light? Could it be that his mobile was accessed? Worrying.

On September 4, 2023, Bangkok authorities reported the apprehension of Mr. John (alias), a 41-year-old American.

 

He was sought after causing an incident in Phuket, where he purportedly wreaked havoc and inflicted damage to a local residence. Following this, the property owner lodged a complaint against him for the damages, reported Siam Rath.

Attempts by Phuket's investigative unit to locate Mr. John initially proved fruitless.They later secured an arrest warrant from the Phuket court.

 

Through their investigation, they learned that Mr. John had fled from Phuket and was residing in a condominium near Sukhumvit Soi 11 in the Wattana district of Bangkok.

The breakthrough came when the authorities discovered that Mr. John planned to visit the IT Square building in the Laksi district of Bangkok to extend his visa.

 

On arrival, officers identified him as he was about to submit his visa extension at the immigration counter.

Confirming his identity and ensuring he was the same individual wanted in Phuket, they informed him of the charges and his rights.

 

He was subsequently detained and handed over to the investigative team in Phuket for legal proceedings.

Why always this "team" pictures like it is a football team or something? Is that for show of to the bosses?

[Stargeezr]

It does not matter which country the guy is from. He looks like a slob, and I am glad they caught him.

  It would be nice to hear how much money he has to pay, as well as how much jail time, and if they deported him

as well. Good.

[Bim Smith]

So they waited to pounce when he did his extension. So again I ask. What is the point of 90 day reports. 

[Deserted]

Why did he leave Phuket?

[d4dang]

No MAGA hat?

 

[hioctane]

We don’t want him back either. Just toss him into a Thai prison!

He had left his place of residence and moved to BKK

The owner of his new place should have filed a TM 30.  (Again more sarcasm by me). My point is that the TM 30 is useless in locating foreigners.

Every immigration office has a dress code, not just Jomtien, whether people follow it or not is another matter. Like you I always wear long trousers and a shirt with a collar

Actually most if not all government facilities have a dress code.

I always dressed nice when having to go to a Thai government office.  Immigration, Labour, etc.  The Thais a quite conservative in that way.  Just play the game and you will get better results.
