Rihanna Thailand tweets lead to more arrests
- 9 years ago
After a recent stop in Phuket during her Diamonds World Tour, rumor has it that Rihanna may be hanging up the microphone to pursue crime-fighting full time in Thailand.
On Monday, Thai police arrested a Phuket bar owner in connection with a live sex show mentioned by the pop star in a tweet during her recent trip to the country. This comes only two weeks after two Thai youth, ages 15 and 20, were arrested after an Instagram photo of Rihanna with a protected primate showed up online.
Authorities on the island of Phuket, 420 miles south of Bangkok, said on Monday that the owner faces charges of obscenity and operating an entertainment venue without a permit. Weera Kerdsirimongkon, local district chief, said that the owner was arrested on Saturday as part of a crackdown on shows featuring naked dancers.
"Authorities found out about this bar the morning after Rihanna tweeted about it, but we were not able to catch them violating the law until Saturday night," Weera said. "We had been waiting for them and finally caught them red-handed." Weera also said the man could face up to one month in jail and a penalty of up to 60,000 baht ($1900).
Rihanna has been on a role busting people in Thailand that are just trying to make a living. A picture of her and a slow loris, a protected animal species, on Instagram led local authorities to arrest a 20-year-old youth and a 15-year-old boy, who now might possibly face charges of possession of protected animals. The charge carries a penalty of up to four years in jail and a 40,000 baht ($1,300) fine.
