Man gets 10 months jail for punching casino guard
A 42-year-old San Francisco man was sentenced Thursday to 10 months in jail and three years of supervised probation after punching a security guard in the nose outside a San Bruno casino in 2013, San Mateo County prosecutors said.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said his office asked for three years in state prison for Pornchai Sirikittikul for the incident on Sept. 5, 2013.
Prosecutors said Sirikittikul stole a parking spot from an employee of Artichoke Joe’s Casino at 659 Huntington Ave. as the employee was arriving at work at about 7 p.m.
The employee got out of his car, approached Sirikittikul and told him he had just taken his parking spot, at which time Sirikittikul started cursing at the employee, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors said the employee backed off and parked in another spot. As he headed to the casino, he passed by Sirikittikul who appeared to be waiting for him.
