PHUKET: Police have arrested a former soldier for stealing food from a motorbike basket in front of a convenience store. The former soldier, who was wanted on an arrest warrant for drug use last year, said that he only wanted food for himself and his cat.

 

Police arrested former Private First Class Watcharin Innoomphan, 38, originally from Kamphaeng Phet, at a house in Soi Thep Anusorn, Wichit, yesterday (Jan 27), explained Lt Col Chatchai Chunoo of the Wichit Police.

 

The arrest came after a woman reported on Monday (Jan 25) that she had parked her motorbike in front of a SuperCheap store in Wichit at about 7:45am, and left bags of pork, fish and snacks, together valued at about B300, with her motorbike.

Pitiful. He has to resort to... Crime of 3 meals.

Welcome to the New Normal. 
The government devastates the economy, then throws hungry people into prison.  Why not.   Those making the rules have a steady paychecks and don't miss a meal.

Former soldier.  He probably hasn't served in military for 15-18 years.

They're just trying to stretch-out the word count in this non-newsworthy news.
