Three men arrested for impersonating police and army officers
Jenny not impressed by men in uniform!
Three men claiming to be police and army officers came to the Jenny Beer Bar in South Pattaya and threatened the owner, saying charges would be brought against her unless she came up with bribe money.
When police arrived Jenny told police two of the three men identified themselves as police officers and the third man claimed to be an army officer. They told her to hand over 2,000 baht or they would close her bar down for staying open after 2.00 am.
A search of the impersonator€™s vehicle produced a number of items of military clothing. The vehicle was also unregistered. The would be soldier, Paitun Puttima, admitted to never being in the military but fancied wearing the uniform with the rank of Lieutenant to impress others.
The second, Wudipong Tochern confessed to being a former boxer in the beer bar rings and not the police driver for the Assistant Inspector of Pattaya Police, as he had claimed, while the third, Winai Manthong explained that his former profession was a hotel security guard and he was not in fact the Assistant Inspector from the Pattaya Police Station.
All three men were charged for impersonating government officials, using fake documents and also attempted extortion.
