Raskolnikov said:A Gold Coast man dubbed "the good samaritan of Patong Beach" for his rescue role during the tsunami disaster in Phuket, Thailand, has been arrested on arrival back in Australia.
Thomas David Connell, 31, was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm whilst in company and entering a dwelling with intent after a home invasion on the Gold Coast in 2002.
Since 2002, police efforts to locate Connell have failed.
That was until police saw Connell being interviewed on television recounting his role in rescuing people on Patong Beach.
Connell appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning and was granted bail.
Speaking afterwards, the father of one says police have the wrong man.
"To be a life saver, saving 20 people, then coming back to my own country and I'm going straight into a bloody jail cell," he said.
Connell will face a Gold Coast court early next month.
I saw this bloke on late news and he was riding on the coat tails of what happened in Thailand, he said I'm a hero I shouldn't be treated like this. He was and if he did it should face the consequences, home invasion are scarey stuff, intimidation is used to get what is wanted.mulhollanddrive said:And Michael Jackson should avoid jail for being the highest selling male artist in the last 30 years, probably ever actually.
