'Authorities launched an investigation and later arrested Mr. Phatcharin. A breathalyzer test discovered that Mr. Phatcharin’s blood alcohol level was reportedly over 195 mg/dL, exceeding the legal limit of 20 mg/dL by a significant margin. Nongprue police seized a gun from the driver as evidence and are pursuing legal charges for driving under the influence of alcohol against him.'
'authorities are currently attempting to verify the driver’s claims that he is a police officer but as of press time has not released a statement around this.'
So rapid action on arrest; significant slow down on whether he was a cop or not.
