Pattaya police arrested a man who tried to settle a domestic dispute with a gun.
Chain Ditpakdee 42, was captured after crashing his fleeing BMW into a utility pole on Sukhumvit Road at the entrance to Soi Chaiyapornwithi in Naklua Aug. 15. Police seized a loaded Ruger 9 mm. handgun and 46 bullets, as well as the car.
Police had been called to a domestic dispute on Soi Paniadchang 10 where Chain was seen arguing with a man and woman while holding a gun. A lover’s quarrel was said to be the impetus for the argument.
When police tried to detain Chain, the gunman hit the cop and took off in his BMW, prompting a police chase.
