A man who turned a BB gun he bought on the Internet into a
bullet-firing weapon was arrested after firing shots into the air in
front of a cop.
Montree Attavijit, 20, was captured with two friends, Saksun Yodmanee,
23, and Supornphit Yoosuk, 27, after a police pursuit that led from
Third Road to Soi Bongkot and through Rungland Village Feb. 1.
The chase began near the Tamnan Chol shop where police said Montree
fired gunshots into the air. Officers recovered a modified .22 mm BB
gun, 25 bullets and an empty clip that holds five bullets.
He was charged with illegal weapons possession. The other two were not
charged.
Police said the youth admitted to firing the shots in an effort to
intimidate a group of men who had been hassling the three at a Third
Road pub. After leaving, he saw a car following and assumed it was the
same men. He didn’t know the men in the car trailing him were police, he
admitted.
