Too bad that he wasn't nabbed in Singapore. They would have caned him before turning him over to the US authorities. In the US he will likely get a slap on the wrist and released. That's one of many reasons that left the United Soocialists States of Amerika long ago. 

He was sentenced to 25 years in prison, a far cry from a slap in the wrist.  I dare say Thai prison sentences are much more lax (especially if the accused has. $$ to share )

Maybe not free of crime... but certainly there would be a DRASTIC reduction

Probably true as in authoritarian countries, you conform or else … None of this mamby Pamby stuff. Thanks, I’ll pass … If I wanted to live under such regimes I would seek life in Russia, China, N. Korea or several other nations that come to mind.

When one boards an international flight the TSA checks passports and boarding passes.  TSA agents are not Law Enforcment Officers and do not have access to criminal wants and warrants databases.  When one enters the USA from an international port of enty CBP(Customs and Border Protection) officers decide if one can enter or not.   CBP officers are Federal Law Enforcement Officers. This person's passport should have been surrendered to the court.  This decision rests on the judge who is presiding over criminal proceedings over this person. 

Thanks for the info

The guy was fleeing a 25 year sentence for crimes committed in the US. He has been in and out of Oregon jails going back to at least 2015. How he managed to get out of the US so easily is another matter altogether. At least he was caught. A true dirt bag. Just goes to show that Thailand will always a go-to destination when criminals are on the run.

Ten days? No mention of the Red Bull absconder?

Why should there be?   He's not in Thailand so the RTP cannot do anything about him outside their jurisdiction and no other country is interested in a man who is wanted in Thailand for a traffic offence who has committed no offences in their countries.

Nonsense.  The Singapore authorities don't cane people who have not been found guilty of committing offences in Singapore.

Really?  That's the punishment for offences of sexual violence, assault, sex trafficking, coercion, physical assault, strangulation, abduction and illegal detention, even though all of them could lead to life imprisonment?

Inspector Clousaeu could find him and arrest him in about one day but the entire weight of the thai police and justice system can't find him even though they have been looking for years....yeah right.

You know that Inspector Clouseau isn't real, yes, and that the "entire Thai police and justice system" have no authority outside Thailand even if they knew exactly where Vorayuth is?

I suspect that every single Thai person knows full well that if the goal was to arrest mr red bull and bring him back that would have been done long ago.

I suspect that you don't know how they could do that when he is not in Thailand?

Thailand never seems to have any trouble returning foreign criminals to their country of origin. Why can't the UK do that with its incoming criminals. We can't get them to beat it even when we offer to pay and house them abroad.

strange that those serial offenders are always released on bail or early.... one case of sexploitation of other humans should offer him lead to the brain or at least, life in prison, no parole

 

the name is typical american? lol... and from asean descent... thought it sounded south american-ish

Another comment from someone who most likely has never been there, and only goes by what he sees in videos. When he's brought to trial, finally, he won't see the light of day for years, or never again, and if any of his charges are against minors, he will be beaten to a pulp with regularity. Living here, he would have gotten into the cult of human trafficking that runs rampant here and is protected by some officials.

If he was wanted on such serious charges by the FBI then how did he get out of the country and into Thailand ?? 

How? By the typical incompetance seen in the US almost everywhere.

And maybe Thailand should require criminal checks before handing out tourist visas and exempt stamps to all an sundry.

Further, given the total time since the 'accident' and the involvement of many officers, must be several hundred who have been bought in some way. So how could there ever be any successful court action.

I suspect he will handle himself pretty well inside. Looks a solid unit.

He'll be stabbed or beaten quickly in a US prison with that sexual rap sheet history.......

I'm surprised he was hanging out in Bangkok.  Usually, the foreign criminals head to Pattaya or Phuket.  I'm hoping that he is sent back soon to the state or Oregon, USA where he can serve out his sentence.

Actually anywhere on the West Coast or New York the chances are extremely high he’ll be set free by the liberal politicians.

Amazing...

What I find amazing is that he had to pay bail to get released.  Had he been in NYC, they amended their laws about thefts because they were getting too many people stealing from the stores - now, if the amount of stolen material is less than a thousand dollars then that is no crime.  Now stores are having to close totally because of the gangs coming in  stealing the merchandise and when the police nab the offenders, they just have to let them go as "no crime committed".

Well if I am not mistaken, the time limit to bring him to justice has already expired for some of the charges.  Killing a policeman, one would think that would never go away without a trial... money rules!  Look at all those pollution breathing locals ... can't make it a danger zone and provide some funds to help solve the problems, but can't scare away any tourists' dollars.

"The CIB proudly revealed its successful operation, noting that it only took 10 days to locate and apprehend the foreign offender"

 

He was a good boy, and kept his TM30 up-to-date🤣
