At 3:40pm today, Samui police arrested Gabriel Chabriais, a 48-year-old French bar owner, for stripping naked in public and disturbing the peace.
Upon their arrival at his bar, police found a naked Chabriais going on a rampage, destroying furniture in the bar and threatening to kill himself. It took police three hours to calm Chabriais before forcing him to put some clothes on and sending him to Samui Hospital for medical diagnosis.
One of Chabriais’s friends told police that he founded the bar with his wife. After the end of his relationship with her, Chabriais had to look after his bar alone, causing him stressf and eventually forcing him to a mental breakdown. Chabriais’s consumption of Xanax prior to his rant was also taken into account as a causal factor, Dailynews reported.
