News_Editor Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 German tourist detained after failing to pay bar bill Attempted to use fake pornographic bank notes to pay PATTAYA: -- Shortly after midnight on July 10 volunteer tourist police officers were called in to detain a German tourist after he was unable to pay his 420 baht bar bill in a Walking Street bar. The man’s sanity came into question after he exhibited strange behavior. He produced a bag of tricks featuring a pig mask, fake US dollar bank notes with pornographic images, and other insipid memorabilia. German Willy Petkirt (seated center) was arrested after trying to pay his bar bill with fake banknotes festooned with pornographic images. Police questioned the bar’s cashier who told them that the foreigner had been drinking but was unable to pay his bill. Tourist police volunteers escorted the man, identified as Willy Petkirt, 55, to Soi 9 where he was promptly fined 500 baht for lascivious behavior, which he continued at the station. Police were not amused with the German’s attempts at humor and fined him a further 500 baht for possessing and showing inappropriate material in public. Since he had no real money, he was placed in a cell until the fine and the bill could be settled. --Pattaya Mail 2004-07-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
