Guns but No Roses in Walking Street Nightclub

PATTAYA:--Hot Tuna is pretty well known for excellent music in the Pattaya street which is otherwise almost filled with Bass blaring Discos competing with each other for the loudest volume, alongside the neon lit houses of gaiety.

And it was here, at the Rock music Venue, in the early hours of Sunday morning that Authorities found an off duty Policeman who, after not being able to find a woman willing to dance with him, took to dancing with his Firearm.

Lucky none of the tourists grabbed his gun and committed suicide

Standard Operating Procedure

except that bit about him being arrested, that's unusual. Must have been the 'bang in the middle of Tourist Central' aspect that pushed the police to take action to take away one of their own.

This is a new twist on the make Tourist areas 'Safe'

From off duty Police ????

Use of "arms" not exactly ruled out under such desperate circumstances, but firearms?
