October 15, 200619 yr The following appears in the PATTAYA CITY NEWS: _____ Broke Texan Makes a Run for it Rather than Paying his Outstanding Rent A bizarre case now from the Argyll Apartments on the Pratamnuk Road in South Pattaya. Mr. Tim Gibbons aged 39 from Texas, USA checked into the apartments three months ago after a planned 6 month stay in Pattaya to take some time-out from his job back in Texas. Unbeknown to staff at the apartment, he lost his job back in Texas whilst he was here in Pattaya and he ran out of money and could not afford to pay the rent. Staff decided to confront him on Friday evening after accumulating a bill of 69,000 Baht over the last three months. Mr. Gibbons did not have the money to pay the bill and took the decision to make a run for it. He was quickly caught and the Police were called. Staff presented Police with the tenancy agreement and he was duly arrested and taken to Pattaya Police Station. He is now in a situation where he will have to either find the money quickly or face some jail time and possible deportation.
