Pattaya police release Russian drunk driver without charges after accident

PATTAYA:--Pattaya police declined to charge a visibly intoxicated Russian woman with drunk driving even after she smashed her Honda compact into a light pole.

Police justified their free pass to the attractive 20s-age woman because no one was injured in the 3 a.m. crash on Central Road.

The drunk Russian refused to exit her damaged Honda Jazz and none of the police on duty spoke Russian,

No, her wallet ordered her release.

"to the attractive 20s-age woman"

You don't have to look further..........that's the reason they let her go.

Different rules for different people I guess. If that was my I could only imagine the problems after that.

Perhaps there was a little back seat diplomacy involved ...

One truck mind......stop being jealous!

[smedly]

So let me get this right - she was drunk driving a car and crashed it and wasn't arrested because she didn't kill anyone

So the message is - you can drive your car drunk and even crash it but if you kill someone you will be arrested and charged

Astounding

[watcharacters]

Maybe learning Russian and being younger and attractive is a "get outta jail free" card.

[nonthaburial]

Well judging from the pic, she certainly was not drunk enough to stop her hiding her identity .

[WitawatWatawit]

Getting drunk gives you BIBlomatic immunity.

[Bosse137]

Working on their image I guess...(refering to other news)

[Pattaya28]

Disgraceful attitude of the police.

Drunk driver crashes and no arrest made.

It's ok then to drive drunk and crash into a light pole or the like ???

No wonder over the new year period 400+ deaths on the road and 1000's accidents.

Obviously nobody gives a Flying F about this carnage.

Oh I nearly forgot "This Is Thailand"

[Langsuan Man]

So much for all the promises of a drunk driving crack down over the holidays, and they wonder why 366 people have died over the holiday

[jacko45k]

Why not one wonders.

Just too much aggravation with the language barrier.

Or were the police extra sensitive to manhandling her after the 'slapping' incident.

No-one was injured......yet.

She must give good...umm...u know.

"Pattaya police declined to charge a visibly intoxicated Russian woman with drunk driving even after she smashed her Honda compact into a light pole."

Amazing Thailand indeed.

[JoeThePoster]

The real reason for the release is they couldn't get the pole to point.
