Lite Beer Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 PHUKET: French tourist arrested in drug bustNattha Thepbamrung A French tourist was arrested yesterday (October 25) for possession of cocaine. PHUKET: A French tourist was arrested yesterday (October 25) for possession of 313.09 grams of cocaine at his house in Baan Sabai Village, Kathu. Police were called to the scene after receiving a call from the neighbours claiming they could hear a fight coming from inside the house.Upon arrival, Thungtong police found the tourist, Jeremy Alexander Victor Pirad, 26, and three others; Maxim Ferrandez, 23, Sirinya Pidtaratae, 29, from Buriram province and Wikanda Ngamprasert, 24, from Uthaithani province.Pol Maj Gen Patchara Boonyasit said, “We have to thank Thungtong police for acting smartly. Aside from marijuana, we also found 30 packs of cocaine hidden in the closet.”According to police, when Mr Maxim saw the police he dropped his cigarette in shock. Mr Jeremy ran upstairs to his bedroom and attempted to hide the small generator in his closet (where the cocaine was hidden).The three others were found smoking marijuana.Mr Jeremy confessed that two Nigerian men were hiding the cocaine in the house and paid him B20,000.However, he claimed that this was the first time he had done this.“According to Mr Jeremy’s confession, we can only arrest one Nigerian man Oshi-Oma Declan, 30, and his wife Songsee Khamsee, 31, for the 20 grams of cocaine.“They are also dealers, but we are still looking for another Nigerian man who personally dealt with Mr Jeremy.”Pol Maj Gen insisted that police would continue to search for the other people involved.“We believe that there is another group of drug dealers who are targeting tourists in Phuket. We will continue to look for them.

Maybe the Nigerians had something on him, and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Something involving the pink panties, no doubt. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always expected things like this can happen easy in Thailand, but this link and the following links (References 22. "Treatment for People Who Use Drugs in Thailand" ) are really an eye opener to the whole story of the last 10 years "War on drugs" in Thailand. Maybe difficult to understand, but I think drug dependence is an illness to be treated, and not a crime to be punished? But this has (hopefully) nothing to do with this press story and foreign dealers in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his circumstances I suspect the pink may have beeen matched with some brown. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police dont wear it....they just point at others otherwise they look like culprits hahahahahaha I thought their job was detecting it in the hands of the dealer, not in the users......small fish victory! another badge to their collection.
