The case of the crazy Italian and the wooden penis.
A bizarre case now from Pattaya Police Station. In the early hours of Friday Morning, Tourist Police, based on Walking Street, brought in an Italian National accused of placing a wooden penis over the mouth of a Thai woman. Mr. Francesco Munaretto aged 45 from Italy and the offending item, a Buddist Penis Amulet which is a religious object normally crafted by Monks which date back to the 8th Century A.D, were taken to the Station. They are thought to bring good luck, however on Friday night the Penis Amulet owned by Mr. Munaretto led him straight to the prison cells. A complaint was made to the Tourist Police from Khun Pairin aged 19 and Khun Quantar aged 20 who claimed the man had thrust the wooden penis in the face of Khun Pairin after he had asked her if she was a man or a woman. At this point the Tourist Police were called in who took the man to the Police Station. He was uncooperative throughout the investigation and Police decided to place the man behind bars for the night to give him some time to contemplate his actions. He was released the next morning with a warning.
