6 day overstay and portrayed as a threat to the country.

Totally exaggerated publicity stunt to make news.

Are they desperate to make an "arrest quota"?

This only seems to happen at Phuket Airport.

 

If I had an overstay (I don't), I guarantee I would not be leaving via Phuket airport.

All I can think of, is they dont have any money to pay the fine,

If it is not yet clear, since a couple of years the Police is targeting in and around the airport in Phuket to catch the folks with expired visa BEFORE they pass check in and go to the immigration and pay the fine.
