Drunk Man Sets Fire to Police Officer's Bike, Faces Arson Charges

A 48-year-old man, in an intoxicated state, set fire to a police officer's motorcycle, believing it had been confiscated, only for it to emerge that he had simply forgotten where he parked it. The incident has resulted in arson charges being filed against him.

 

The incident unfolded in the early hours in Nang Rong District, Buriram Province. Mr Theerapol, also known as Kong, was arrested after he set fire to a Honda Wave motorcycle at a police checkpoint. This vehicle belonged to Lieutenant Narubet Panshumsaeng, who was at the checkpoint at the time.

 

A muddled Mr Theerapol, during questioning, admitted to the arson. Describing his actions, he confessed that, driven by alcohol and anger over his assumed vehicle impoundment, he lit the officer’s motorcycle on fire using a lighter. However, upon sobering up, Mr Theerapol realised that his own motorcycle was actually parked across the street, not seized as he had assumed.


Lieutenant Narubet recounted that Mr Theerapol, evidently intoxicated, had approached him at the checkpoint, claiming that the police had taken his vehicle.

 

Despite multiple explanations that no such seizure had occurred, Mr Theerapol remained agitated and combative. Shortly thereafter, the officer noticed flames near the checkpoint and discovered his bike ablaze. Efforts to extinguish the fire were only partially successful, leaving the bike largely damaged.

 

Following the incident, Mr Theerapol was detained and once sober, charged with arson. The case has been passed to the investigating officers at Nang Rong Police Station for further legal proceedings, reported Siam Rath.
