What did this guy do? (video of another barang arrested in Cambodia)

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. 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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Haha, kind of looks like the same guy, but I don't think so. The sad truth is that there are waaaaaay more meth heads running around Phnom Penh that we probably realize, so these 2 cases are clearly unrelated.

From what I can gather, the meth head named 'John' that has worried family posting about him online is named "Jon Williams' and his girlfriend is named "Georgia Grant, both pictured below:

Oops, looks like you edited your post a bit after I read it...

I was replying about it looking like this guy:

"Didn't want to have to do this but time is now against me , my dad (left) and his girlfriend (right) have been missing in Cambodia now for well over 48 hours the last time we had communication he told us he had been robbed on two occasions of all his belongings this Includes his passport and telephone. He has no money and his hotel ran out 2/3 days ago so as far as where concerned he has been sleeping Ruff in what's considered to be the most un lawful place In Asia , as you could guess his family and friends are doing there best , the Cambodia police are apparently helping but refused him help when he went there in person , his also battiling a drug addiction and we was told his medicine was taking from his bag too, all I ask is for the power of the internet to share this , I put it in all the Cambodian pages I can , and Thai tourist pages , Interpol have been notified and are doing what they can , both the British and Cambodian embassy have been made aware LAST KNOWN LOCATION

Someone on Facebook just gave us this translation:

The guy in the video claims that this Barang was completely naked and went on a rampage with a baton . . . at 3:16 the witness said that he walks all over on the street with his baton and attempted to strike whoever and whatever was on his way . . .

Well, his family is now saying it is him on Facebook, so I'd say it likely is him and he was just lying about his age in the video, because everything else seems to match up except his age. Hmmmm...

An article says that at the police station he confessed that he just came from smoking weed and he had not money. He lost his passport. He had walked all the way from Phsar Dey Hoi, near the airport. He also ran naked into bar and people house. He lost his mind basically after he had smoked weed.

Gotta love Google Translate:


"Phnom Penh: A British man aged 30 years old is known to have come to the point of smoking marijuana until he has lost his mind. But her body was also chased by a police officer chasing and wearing a surprise at 10 pm on September 5 It is located at 156, corner of Street 261 In Teuk Laak 2 commune, Toul Kork. John, a 30-year-old British resident, is not exactly true.

According to eyewitnesses, before the incident, the man did not know where to walk, but suspected to break the drug Walk naked without clothes and run full path, walk into the drink shop and walk into the house, shocked the authorities to come to intervene He was beaten by the British with a battered sword Citizen chased until the cops chasing the clothes worn and taken to the police station retention 2nd murky.

After arriving at the police station for questioning, he confessed he had just smoked marijuana and had no money and had lost his passport. Only to know that the British come from the Hem Pond Market only."

In some ways it's better that they (the media) do as a) it gives a record of events during/after arrest and b) it may encourage the boleeh to be reasonable in their treatment.

Although to be fair, it looks like the police took very good care of this guy.

Is this the same guy that cuts loose around Sovanna every now and then?
