Another PP expat in jail, this time in Bangkok
Another PP expat in jail, this time in Bangkok
I haven't seen much about this one in the media since last week's initial report:
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/20 ... 43874.html
Police yesterday nabbed two foreigners for allegedly selling cocaine in the Nana area of Bangkok....Briton James Sargeant, 59, and Australian Stephen John Pedrotta, 47, were arrested with 2.2 kilograms of cocaine.
Police said Sargeant flew over from Cambodia with the drugs after a police agent offered to buy the cocaine for Bt3.75 million

I don't think that either one is a PP expat. Pendrotta (ginger hair) lives in Thailand, while the articles report that Sargeant "had travelled to Cambodia to pick up the package".

[quote="Sea Monkey"61]That's a lotta coke, isn't it? These guys are gonna suffer big time.
Plus, if they prepaid the hotel they planned on staying at in Bangkok, they're out that too.
Still, they seem rather calm in the photo. Must be able to get a refund on the hotel room.[/quote61]
I hear the Bangkok Hilton is very accommodating.
When I read the OP, I took it as Cambodia was a transit point for the smuggler.

2kg is a lot of coke. Unless these guys are some sort of delivery boys, if they are actually dealing in that quantity, I would think this is not their first trip around the block. As for 'luring,' it's pretty difficult lure an honest man into knowingly running 2kg of coke. And it not like they're a couple of naive kids.
