A former US Marine who last month was arrested in Bangkok after what was described as a ‘suspicious’ package was left outside the US embassy, was arrested again on Friday night after causing a disturbance at a condo in Pattaya.

 

Police were called after 35-year-old Lucas William McCamy caused damage to property and was behaving in an aggressive manner. 

 

Police initially tried to talk and reason with Mr McCamy but to no avail. He was eventually restrained and taken into custody.

 

A video shared on Thai social media, showed Mr McCamy tell police: “I have guns, lots of guns”.

 

In April, Mr McCamy was arrested following a report he left a ‘suspicious package’ outside the US embassy in Pathumwan.

 

Bomb disposal experts were called but no dangerous device was found. 

 

On that occasion, Mr McCamy wasn’t charged with any offence but was sent for psychiatric evaluation. 

 

In March, he was arrested in Pattaya after causing a public disturbance and was reportedly found to be in possession of a taser.

 

Mr McCamy was known to have been working as an English teacher in Chonburi as recently as February of this year.

Sounds like a lovely guy! Send him home and let his own country take care of the problems he create. They created him.

lets hope he gets the help he needs.  

Obviously???? He was sent to mental eval. He was apparently let free, so either a faulty test or a man with issues.

Could be his medication and alcohol do not mix well. He would appear to have certain mental health issues and he may not be fit to fly at present. Not many airlines will carry a mentally hyper person on board so he may need sedating before travel. Hope he gets the help he needs.

Probably PTSD. I've seen this kind of stuff before. He needs to go back to the states and get some psychiatric help.

Surely that would be the last place to get sent to for help, something like going back to see the surgeon who sewed your hand back on upside down ????

Do you really think that there's lots of English teachers left here then? Somehow I think they're going to be struggling

Indeed. Many farangs left and none can currently enter. It's a buyer's market. Former colleague of mine just threatened to jump to another school, and scored himself a raise.

the question that is not often asked, is why people end up mentally ill.. this is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff stuff.... out of site out of mind, except the outcomes are not out of sight and out of mind...... in the huge majority of cases, people were not born this way...
