A drunk Belgian who refused to pay his tab and kicked a motorcycle
taxi driver slept off his uncivil behavior behind bars.
Kevin Andre Alphonse Schmidt, 31, was rounded up by police Oct. 14 at the
Carousel beer bar on Soi Buakaow after causing a disturbance.
Staffers said Schmidt was the son of the bar’s former owner and often drank
there, bragging about his father’s ownership of the bar and refusing to pay
his tab. Finally they called police.
Schmidt did not go quietly, arguing with officers and kicking a taxi driver
who tried to help. He was subdued and thrown in the drunk tank until sober.
