We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

He is one of the competent authorities so why would they even consider testing him for drugs.

:dm: The guy really needed his laundry. (True, look at that shirt.)

Respectable officer absolutely needs a clean white shirt to wow karaoke girls or his mistress that night. He was supposed to pick up his shirt at 6pm, but got delayed having a few drinks with friends. (As you do.)
Guy turns up at the laundry at 11pm. The bastard is closed. Shit, no shirt. :rambo: I rest my case.

Police officer held after shooting
Sen Sok district police on Monday arrested an anti-drug police officer working with the Ministry of Interior after he allegedly got drunk and shot at a civilian at home with a mother and daughter inside as he sought revenge over a case from the past.

Cap Savuth said that Ms Sona and her 12-year-old daughter were inside the house during the shooting, while noting that no one was injured. However, the suspect broke the windows and other properties in the house, he added.

Cap Savuth said that police moved to arrest the suspect in his home at about 11pm on the same evening and seized an AK-47 rifle along with 12 unused bullets as well as one car from him.

Cap Savuth added that police conducted drug and alcohol tests, which came back negative for drug use but recorded a 0.71 percent of alcohol level.

Colonel Hour Mengvang, chief of Sen Sok district police, yesterday said that the suspect is accused of attempted premeditated murder and illegal use of weapons.
