Police in Pattaya, Thailand subdued a severely drunk security guard after he threatened locals and attempted to assault the police. The incident took place at Ekmongkol 4 Village in Soi Khao Talo, Pattaya, and was reported to the police at 9:06 PM on Tuesday, May 7th.

 

The boisterous guard, who was in his mid-30s to early 40s, and worked for the village, was shirtless and acting aggressively. Reportedly, he was shouting and cursing at passersby, tossing things around, and trying to attack police officers.

 

The situation required additional police support to restrain the guard, with no individuals getting injured in the process.

 

One local, Mr. Prasert, who was dining nearby, stated that the guard is customarily diligent and well-mannered, with no past incidences. Mr. Prasert suspects that the guard might have consumed excessive alcohol, which may have incited his aggressive behavior. It is yet unknown whether he was drinking on the job.

 

An ongoing investigation is underway regarding the incident. Moreover, police are contemplating filing charges against the guard due to his behavior. It remains unclear whether the guard's employment will be terminated due to this episode.

Or perhaps doing it before work to promote a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile on the roads more deaths occurred through lack of policing.

Was there a drug test involved?  (Yaba / Meth).  Sounds far more likely.

What is the nationality of the guard?
