NORWEGIAN VOLUNTEER POLICE ARRESTED IN PATTAYA FOR DRUGS DEALING
Pattaya, September 3,[PDN]: On the 3rd September 2009, John Johansen, an ex member of the Pattaya Foreign Police Volunteers, was arrested by police, charged with drugs and firearms offenses.
The 39 year old Norwegian was arrested in a sting operation organized by Police Lieutenant Colonel Somsak Nongpong, Deputy Superintendent of The Office of The Narcotic Control Board and his team. At the time of his arrest Johansen had in his possession 40 grams of heroin, and a .38mm gun with 10 bullets. Police also confiscated his Honda motorbike, reg. no. 283 Chonburi.
Johansen, a long time (10 years) resident of Pattaya, was arrested at the El Paso restaurant located at 124/49-51 Moo. 10, South Pattaya, Nongprue.
Johansen has been operating a company providing visa, work permit and translation services in soi 13, besides running “Ingos” bar on Pattaya’s third road with a partner.
Police revealed that he had been supplying drugs to foreigners using his position in the Volunteer Police as a cover. He claimed he knew many police officers in Chonburi and bragged that no one would want to make a problem for him.
At 7:30 pm today (3rd September) the editor of PDN was notified by Mr. Howard Miller, the leader of the Volunteer Tourist Police, that Johansen had been sacked from his team about 6 months ago because it was discovered he had a dark past. Johansen has now been taken to the office of Narcotics Suppression Bureau for further processing.
PDN would like to assure its readers that we will be following the developments in this case closely and will provide updates as and when we receive them.

CRAZY THAILAND
I had to post this after I just watched a TV program called Big Trouble In Tourist Thailand (Its a series) It was dedicated to making Thailand look bad again 4 main stories
1 about a girl busted for drugs at a full moon party,
Another about a drug dealer banged up in Thailand for 7 years,
the next about some Marines that rented a jet ski in Phuket and got ripped off for 35,000 baht when the guy said they damaged it he wanted 80,000 but the military police told the Thai guy take it or get nothing surprise agreed, all the sex and prositution again not put in proportion made to look like its everywhere.
And last a name I have read about here before Howard Miller Police Volunteer showing how he was the Main Policeman on Walking street in Pattaya and nothing happened with him on patrol.
This made me laugh after I read about the Norweigen Drug dealer with a restaurant on third road. and then found this video on u tube of the same Howard promoting the place here is the link.
