Lite Beer Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Phuket meth mule busted, 1500 pills seized Mr Tossapol points to a 0.66-gram bag of crystal methamphetamine seized as evidence in the case against him. PHUKET: In the latest drug arrest, Phuket City Police last night nabbed a man found in possession of 1,500 ya bah (methamphetamine) pills and a small amount of ya ice (crystal methamphetamine). Police said Tossapol Maneepakorn, 21, was pulled over at a police checkpoint on Rassadanusorn Road in the Ban Kuku area of Rassada at about 11:30 pm. As they thought he looked suspicious, police searched his body and motorcycle, finding the drugs inside a brown bag. Mr Tossapol was arrested and charged with possession of class one drugs with intent to sell. Mr Tossapol confessed at a press conference this morning that he was on his way to deliver the drugs to a restaurant on Koh Sireh when police stopped him. He told the press that it was the first time he was hired to deliver drugs. Had he been successful, a payment of 10,000 baht would have been transferred into his bank account, he claimed. He now faces a stint in the overcrowded Phuket Provincial Prison, where the majority of inmates are serving time for drug related convictions, most related to ya bah. -- Phuket Gazette 2011-05-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
