A drunken American male has been detained for allegedly stealing a bicycle from a police place in Samut Prakan.
On Friday nights, Phra Khanong officers were called to the scene after a man had stolen a Honda CRF300L from the Samrong Nuea stop.
Authorities were able to locate the stolen dual-sport bike near the Bangkok city of Phra Khanong, but the rider made an effort to fend off arrest.
Afterward, he attempted to escape on foot while being apprehended at a Peugeot store.
Beau Gerard Hegarty, a 41-year-old American national, was discovered in a drowsy position.
He sided with the police by registering an alcohol content of 85 microgrammes per 100 milliliter of breathing, which is far above the constitutional limit of 35 g/100ml during the research and breathalyser check.
An adult admitted to renting the 150, 000-baht vehicle to Hegarty.
The American attempted to steal the scooter from the police lot, but the Australian failed, aiming to avoid any associated costs. Although no illegal was found on him, Hegarty failed to present a legitimate driver’s permission.
He was immediately charged with drink-driving.
