Tourist arrested at Thai airport as cocaine falls from his pockets during tantrum
A British tourist could face a prison sentence after being arrested at an airport in Thailand. A video was captured on February 18 of the man’s bizarre tantrum which saw him lying on the ground beating his chest several times. Close by was some white powder which allegedly fell out of his pocket. Local police said it tested positive for cocaine. He had flown to Phuket from Shanghai in China. Police Major Akkarapon Akkraphon, immigration checkpoint inspector at the airport, told Viral Press: “We charged the tourist with importing a Category II narcotic into the country and illegally possessing it. He was handed over to the inquiry officer of the Sakhu Police Station for legal action.”<br/>
