Pattaya Sharky Confronts Pattaya Police

Australian national Tim Ward also known as "Sharky" probably due to his prior business activities as a loan shark in Australia made a noisy scene at Pattaya Police Station. Sharky who is a well known character in Pattaya and can be regularly seen strutting his massive Tattooed body builder frame along Pattaya Beach Road in search of the next short time encounter.

Sharky was more than a little miffed that he had been subjected to a police raid on his condo where - he alleges - the police planted drugs and also made off with a million Baht in cash and a kilo in gold jewelry.

Sharky is a frequent flyer at Pattay Police station and has been making his vocal prescience heard even more often since his visit from the boys in Brown. At this nights encounter he had brought along a couple of Australian film makers who were doing a reality type documentary on the Aussie character, who was actually born in New Zealand.

The event was also covered by members of the Thai media one of whom local Journalist, Khun Chocktawee aged 46, lodged a formal complaint of assault against Sharkey. It turns out that the media guy had had the strap on his shoulder bag snapped during the confrontation.

Pattaya police declined to follow up on the complaint and indeed kept a quiet and low profile citing that they were more than a little intimidated by the vociferous foreigner.
