NYC Man Who Assaulted Thai Model Was Arrested 16 Times in One Day

[RandySF]

NEW YORK CITY—Authorities arrested 40-year-old Kevin Douglas of Queens on Thursday, February 10, after they connected him to the attack of 23-year-old Bew Jirajariyawetch, who was waiting for a subway train in Midtown on November 22 when Douglas allegedly beat and robbed her.

According to the Daily Mail, Douglas has been arrested 44 times, including 16 times in a single day. He is currently being charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree robbery, and second-degree assault. The address provided by police for Douglas was a Days Inn hotel near JFK International Airport.

Jirajariyawetch said the horrific attack happened around 4 a.m. on November 22, 2021, after she was going home from a concert—the attack remains a blur.

She was grabbed from behind in a chokehold, thrown to the ground, savagely punched in the face, and robbed of her purse at the 34th Street Herald Square station on November 22, according to the Daily Mail.

Police said Douglas has 44 prior arrests and faced charges for drugs, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, robbery, and criminal tampering dating back to 1997. On May 13, 2019, he was actually arrested 16 times.

1. And he was left on the street to attack another unsuspecting person.

Is there any wonder "law & order" plays so well among voters?

3. +1

[SheltieLover]

2. Judges who let him out should be charged as accessories

[malaise]

4. Clearly this is a mental health issue

This man is not well

[BlackSkimmer]

11. No, he's a coward and a criminal. nt

[SheltieLover]

13. The prisons are full of people with antisocial personality disorder

This man should not be out among people.

[PatSeg]

14. Yes and he should have

received help a long time ago, yet they kept releasing him back to the streets. Whatever his mental health issues, they obviously are severe enough that he should be confined and medicated.

[malaise]

16. Precisely

Sadly we now have markets not societies so people no longer matter. Just lock them up in prison with the general population then release them on the street to beat up innocent women like this one.

[PatSeg]

18. Over and over again

Prisons are not equipped to deal with the mentally ill and so many mental health facilities were closed years ago, often releasing the patients to the street to fend for themselves. Obviously we don't know enough about this man to pass judgment, but 16 arrests in one day should have been a huge red flag.

[malaise]

19. No sane person gets arrested 16 times in one day

Unbelievable

[alphafemale]

15. Then open up the asylums again.

People are sick of being assaulted and injured and having loved ones killed by people claiming mental illness.

You can't do anything. i am mentally ill."

5. Why are people like this running around free? Lock them up and throw away the key.

[stopdiggin]

6. the mentally ill are very unlikely to be violent

And those that are must be dealt with. We' been told (for years, and years, and years) that there are gaping holes ... And there's been very little, if any, improvements.

(if the criminal justice system is not the place to dealing with these problems - and in a case like this I think that is open to debate - then there needs to be other avenues in place.)

7. This guy is not mentally ill.

He's a thug.

He needs to go to jail for a LONG time.

[BlackSkimmer]

10. This.

Spot on.

Just like that guy who broke that woman’s skull in Seattle. Can’t find the link now.

[Wingus Dingus]

8. How is this even possible.

[Midnight Writer]

9. Exactly. I wouldn't have time to even drive to the cop shop 16 times in a day.

Let alone get processed through an arrest 16 times in a day.

Probably more likely he was charged 16 times in a day.

[Wingus Dingus]

12. Yes--someone has to be misunderstanding the police reports.

[sakabatou]

21. My thoughts too

[Polybius]

22. If ever there was a case for some wooden medicine, this is it

Seriously, fuck this low life piece of shit.
