The Thief-Forger-Burglar-Druggie Finally Goes Too Far

When 29-year-old John Sung
Park of Buena Park stole, forged, burgled and did the drug, I did nothing.

When Park faked his own death in a diving
accident off Laguna Beach last September to avoid sentencing in Orange County for theft, forgery, burglary, as well as a drug warrant out of LA County, I did nothing.

But when Park got popped this week in Las Vegas for cheating while
gambling at the MGM Grand, well, that warrants this bold action, my friends:

John Park, you've gone way, waaaaay over the line this time, mister.

When he is extradited to Orange County within the next few weeks, Park will be answering to additional charges of faking an emergency and gambling fraud, say the authorities.

He should also get at least another year for that haircut.
