Monk caught with speed pills
POLICE manning a checkpoint in northeastern Thai province of Nong Bua Lamphu suspected something fishy when they stopped a pickup truck driven by a Buddhist monk, the Thai-language daily Khao Sod reported today (Feb. 22).
The 37-year-old monk began to sweat and his hands were shaking as policemen asked him where he was heading. The monk did not respond and began acting in a very erratic manner.
The police then checked the back of the driver’s seat and they found 14 methamphetamine pills and five 9 mm bullets.
They took the monk to the police station where he underwent a urine test, and it turned out to be purple showing drug use.
He confessed to taking the drugs and the police later took him to a temple where he was disrobed.
