A Thai man out for revenge after having half his arm
chopped off in an earlier dispute was busted by police with drugs and a gun
before he could get payback.
Nopporn Kesatcha, missing half his right arm, and
29-year-old driver Sompong Koyangpuak were taken into custody at a police
checkpoint early Saturday. Officers recovered a loaded 11 mm pistol and two
packs of crystal methamphetamines from the truck.
Nopporn, 26, explained he’d lost his forearm in a fight
with local gang member known only as “Sam” in 2006. His arm had healed, but
his pride hadn’t. When he heard Sam was back in town, he told police he
rounded up Sompong to unleash some retribution.
The two were jailed on drugs and weapons charges.
