Monk on Meth's Motorway Mayhem Swerves into Scandal

[snoop1130]

 

Just as the sun began its descent in the rural districts of Thailand's Maha Sarakham province, a Thai monk created havoc on its quiet streets. Known in his community as Suthep Pata, this 48-year-old Buddhist monk has now strayed far from his spiritual path and is embroiled in a scandalous tale involving drugs, theft, and a wild car chase.

 

Eyewitnesses could hardly believe their eyes as the usually serene man of faith sped through Kantara Wichai district yesterday after skipping payment for his brimming petrol tank, that amounted to a hefty 1,300 baht. However, not content with his petrol pilfering, Suthep soon added grievous bodily harm to his list of offences.

 

As the police tracked his vehicle towards the city centre, Suthep’s getaway drive took a turn for the worse when he collided with a police motorcycle, followed by an eventful crash into a bus carrying passengers. The first impact resulted in a fractured leg for Officer Surachai Kammookcho, while the crash into the bus left six people with minor injuries. Despite the chaos and commotion, the runaway monk showed little remorse or concern, speeding away from both accident scenes.

 

Following the final crash which left his vehicle in ruins, Suthep was forced to abandon his car and clumsily attempt an escape on foot. However, his dash for freedom was promptly curtailed by an unusually heroic petrol station attendant ably assisted by other motorists who quickly apprehended and detained Suthep until the arrival of the police.

 

Back at the Mueang Maha Sarakham Police Station, the story took another grim turn, as the blood tests showed traces of methamphetamine, commonly known as Yaba, in Suthep's system. This revelation was further compounded by the discovery of two Yaba tablets in his personal possession.

 

The once-respected Suthep now hangs his head in shame, disrobed from his monkhood and staring at a worrying litany of charges. The immediate accusations relate to drug possession and usage, but as further investigations unfold, more offence related to the reckless car accidents will certainly follow. The takeaway, it seems, is that even spiritual robes can conceal worldly flaws.

The moral, it seems, is that even monastic mantles can mask malevolent mysteries.

Love it.

A modest monk with much to be modest about.

A monk is just a normal human being and not a Saint.

But drug raids in temples might be appropriate from time to time.🙏

Isn't possession of two yaba tablets legal now?
