webfact Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Phuket Aussie caught a second time with ya ice while out on bailEakkapop ThongtubAustralian Mark Robert Coutelas, 53, arrested for a second time last night.PHUKET: -- Australian man Mark Robert Coutelas, 53, was arrested again last night (June 11) on drugs charges, while out on bail for another crime.Coutelas was arrested around 10pm after he was caught at the Green Mango apartment block in Patong with 2.54grammes of crystal methamphetamine (ya ice).It is the second time the Australian has been arrested for possession of ya ice.Earlier in the year on May 27, Coutelas was arrested after being found in possession of ya ice and a gun.At the time, police visited the Green Mango apartment block on Nanai Rd in the early afternoon.Not sure which apartment he lived in, they asked a Thai woman who was going into the building who she was going to visit. By lucky coincidence she said she was going to visit Coutelas.Asking the owner of the block to accompany them as a witness, they went with the woman, “Jum”, to the apartment. She knocked on the door and called his name.Police said that when Coutelas opened the door, his face registered shock when he saw the Narcotics Police ID held up to his face.As police came into the apartment, Coutelas sat down and tried to negotiate, offering to tell police where his gun was in exchange for them not charging him with drug possession.He then revealed that he was sitting on the gun, a 9mm Glock 17 pistol.Police searched the room, finding 0.53 grams of ya ice, two pipes for smoking the drug, and 10 bullets for the Glock.They also found two BB replica guns, a collection of gun magazines and hundreds of knives – Coutelas told police he was selling knives over the Internet.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-aussie-caught-a-second-time-with-ya-ice-while-out-on-bail-46820.php-- Phuket News 2014-06-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Idiot! Out on bail on drug and gun charges in Thailand! He should have been heading flat out for the border, not stopping for another hit. Look at the smug looks on the faces of the army of cops behind him. They obviously didn't like the fact that he was given bail. Edited June 12, 2014 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Triglav Posted June 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Wait, wait, he was caught with half a gram of meth, a bb gun and a 9mm handgun two weeks ago. How does one even get charged with drug and freaking illegal firearm possesion and get to stay free and in the country?

Deaw Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ya' think maybe by age 53 this guy would have decided to stop doing meth? And not caught just once, but twice. A year or 2 in the klink should straighten up this tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chooka Posted June 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2014 What an idiot getting caught twice in 2 weeks for the same offences in the same location. Enjoy your extended stay in the Hilton. What's with the cops turning up with a search warrant and they don't even know the address. "Not sure which apartment he lived in, they asked a Thai woman who was going into the building who she was going to visit. By lucky coincidence she said she was going to visit Coutelas" Surely they would have checked all the intel prior to going there and surely his details and address are recorded on the database from his previous arrest. What's with taking civilians on a police raid the bloody morons, the guy the are going to arrest has a history of firearms and you ask a civilian if they want to tag along. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squarethecircle Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 He probably has some sort of connection or the iike. Doesn't appear extraordinarily disturbed, I think most of us would be "freaking out" after busted like this (tho probably no one here is involved in guns or drug trade, seems like an intelligent bunch on TV yeah?). Will be interested to see how his case will come about: surely Oz feds are paying attention to this and would try to charge him upon re-entry to Oz - doesn't appear he is doing anything that would cause extradition (like trying to export the stuff to Oz) - but the fact that he is out after busted with the "deadly combo" speed and guns says "there must be something going on we aren't seeing".Always got the copsComing after meCustom built bike doing 103My heart, my heartKickstart my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
