Phuket authorities have arrested an American man wanted in Texas for a 2022 domestic violence charge involving alleged strangulation, following information from the US Embassy. The 48-year-old, referred to only as Brad by Phuket Immigration, was apprehended on September 9 in Talat Nuea. A Texas warrant for the alleged offense was issued on May 26, 2022, and US officials subsequently revoked his passport.
Despite not possessing an original passport, Brad provided only a copy. His permission to stay in Thailand was revoked under the Immigration Act, leading to his transfer to the Phuket Immigration investigation unit. Further legal proceedings were informed, but the specifics of subsequent actions were not disclosed. This incident follows a similar case where Thai police detained another American, Lance Beck, in Nai Yang due to eight US warrants for alleged sexual offenses against children.
Additionally, a South Korean man was arrested in Phuket after South Korean police sought him under an Interpol Red Notice for fraud and transnational drug offenses, with the individual having overstayed his Thai visa by over eight years.
