We asked to search her and found 1.2 grams of cocaine,” said Col Suttichai.Ms Waew told police that she had bought the cocaine from a foreign male through one of her friends.Ms Waew led police to her friend, named in the arrest report as British national Curtis Martin Taylor, 32, at his apartment on 50 Pi Road."We searched him and found one gram of marijuana in his pocket,” said Col Sutthichai.Police questioned Mr Martin, who told them about Ibenuba Henry Onyinyechukwu. Officers then set up a sting operation involving Ms Somkid to arrest Mr Onyinyechukwu.“Ms Somkid called Mr Onyinyechukwu asking for 2,500 baht worth of cocaine. They arranged to meet and make the exchange at Mr Martin’s place at KK Apartment,” said Col Suttichai.Mr Onyinyechukwu soon arrived at the apartment with 5.45 grams of cocaine.“The two exchanged the drugs and the money, which were fake banknotes provided by police. Ms Somkid signalled the hidden officers after the money was handed over,” explained Col Sutthichai.Police apprehended Mr Onyinyechukwu and charged him with possession of a Category 2 drug with intent to sell, said Col Sutthichai.Ms Somkid was also charged with possession of a Category 2 drug and Mr Martin was charged with possession of a Category 5 drug.— Chutharat PlerinSource: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Sting-operation-nets-Nigerian-dealing-cocaine/29086#ad-image-0-- Phuket Gazette 2014-04-09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post asdecas Posted April 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2014 Well, Mr Taylor looks suitably glum, and why shouldn't he? How many of us over the years have been pulled up on some minor infringement of the law, only for the ridiculous posturing martinets of the RTP to act as if we'd assassinated you-know-who? While he does not look to be a candidate for Mensa any time soon, I have some sympathy for the hapless farang. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
