A 41-year-old man was arrested in Pattaya after allegedly brandishing a firearm and threatening a motorcyclist while heavily intoxicated. The suspect, identified only as “Big”, was driving a BMW sedan when he confronted the victim on Pattaya Third Road.

 

According to Pattaya City Police, officers received a distress call at 04:35 on 29 March, from a resident who reported being threatened with a firearm. Pol. Lt. Col. Suwinai Kuibamrung and Pol. Lt. Pan Saran Khrongsit immediately dispatched a team to intercept the suspect.

 

 

Police tracked down and stopped the suspect’s grey BMW (Bangkok registration) approximately 10 kilometres from the scene. Inside the vehicle, officers found Big and his girlfriend. A search of the car uncovered a loaded 9mm Sig Sauer P938 handgun, with five rounds of ammunition, hidden beside the driver’s seat.

 

The victim, identified as Mr. Top, 35, had already filed a police report. He stated that while riding his motorcycle on Pattaya Third Road, the BMW driver pulled up alongside him and started provoking him aggressively, despite the two having no prior conflict. Moments later, he heard the sound of a gun being loaded, prompting him to flee and call the police.

 

When questioned, Big was heavily intoxicated and incoherent, denying the accusations and insisting he would only testify in court. He admitted to owning the firearm, stating that it was legally registered.

 

A breathalyser test confirmed that Big’s blood alcohol level was at a staggering high level, far exceeding the legal limit.

 

Police have charged him with firearm-related offences and drink-driving, and he has been handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings.

It's was certainly a weird way to show off. Another what about me Thai guys.

I think Big is actually very small and needs his 9mm to feel BiG. What an absolute clown.

Although we will probably never get to know, it would be interesting to know what sort of punishment he gets or if he only has to hand over some cash.

Well, he's called Mr. Big Top which is where clowns work.

The headline should be "Non Foreign Drunk BMW Driver"

The “I have a small Willy and a few Baht therefore I need to show off my masculinity to the girl by pulling out a gun on a random guy” syndrome is quite popular.

This one is ready for the court circus: time for the Big Top! (bit of a stretch, but my therapist says I should post this sort of stuff rather than let it fester inside...)
