DONATION
Well-meaning drug dealer in custody
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- A drug dealer was arrested yesterday after attempting to donate 11 yaba pills at a centre collecting donations for flood victims in Chon Buri's Sattahip district.

The man reportedly urged workers at the centre to sell the drugs and use the proceeds to aid flood-affected people in the Eastern region.

Apparently under the influence of his own wares, former drug convict Jakkrit Mukpradap, 39, was arrested while trying to donate the pills to a booth in front of Wat Thep Prasart yesterday morning. He confessed to having taken five yaba pills earlier in the day.

A search of his home turned up a home-made gun and some ammunition.

Jakkrit said he got the drugs from a Rayong supplier identified only as Chamlong. Jakkrit said he had dealt drugs for three years after serving a prison term for his prior offence.

He said he was motivated to aid flood victims after watching a TV news report, so he donated the pills believing staff members could sell them for Bt3,000.

Illegal drugs offered as donation for Eastern Thailand Flood Victims



SATTAHIP: -- A bizarre donation of illegal drugs was made to a Flood Donation Center in Sattahip District on Monday by a 38 year old man who himself appeared to have consumed drugs prior to handing over the narcotics.

Thai Navy Narcotics Officers were called by those manning the donation center in Sattahip Town Center on Monday Morning and seconds after arriving they arrested Khun Jukgrit who had “donated” a bag of 11 Yabba Tablets and told staff at the donation point to sell them and donate the cash to flood victims.

Khun Jukgrit’s home was later raided by officers who found no more drugs but did find a 38 caliber pistol. During questioning the suspect, who has already served time in Prison on drug offenses, claimed he purchased the drugs from a drug dealer based in the Map Ta Put Industrial Area in Rayong Province, Khun Jumlong, who is now the subject of a separate investigation.

I'm no fan of people selling methamphetamines but, on a purely ethical note, you can't really label this guy as a nasty piece of work can you? This guy is going to jail (again)... what's the point?

To hopefully keep him away from others that may be easily led into a life of misery for themselves and all connected with them!

yes, even though he was high and not thinking straight he is obviously a good person that just wanted to help, i hope things work out ok for him and he stops messing around with that stuff, just a few beers or shot of whisky is much better !

[boomerangutang]

jeezo, from the photo, the guy looks a lot older than 38. He's probably also has another drug problem, same same as nearly all Thai men (and most farang) have: too much drinking of fermented sugar drinks.

[mancub]

"A search of his home turned up a home-made gun and some ammunition."

Maybe not such a harmless idiot as some like to think . But ,then I know no more of his character than anyone else.

[newermonkey]

If he wants to help then send him up country to lug sand bags around (under guard) as his punishment and his own gratification.

[adweb00]

Total idiot don't get me wrong but least his heart was kinda in the right place. How many people here have done anything to help?

[tonneke breda]

appreciate the thought, only......ahhh what can I say

[klauskunkel]

at least he tried to help, in his own special way...doing so was putting his assets and future on the line (while under the influence admittedly)...which is proportionally more than the government does...

Speedy Relief: Tweaker arrested for donating meth to temple (VIDEO)
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- Moved by the plight of his countrymen, Jakarerk Mukpradep, 39, decided it was time to step up and give what he could to help those affected by the floods.

It was a simple plan. Jakakerk, himself a successful man of commerce, donated some of his valuable product to a relief center in Chonburi, where he hoped it could be resold for much-needed cash. Unfortunately for him, police took issue with his generous contribution: 11 pills of methamphetamine, or yaba.

"I want to do good deeds and help people," he said. Apparently a believer in the benefits of what by most accounts is a vile, illegal drug, Jakakerk added his own testimonial: "I took five yaba pills before coming here." [read more...]

Well, i guess that he is'nt very close to the Red Bull family, otherwise we would never have heard of it.

[Cuban]

It's the thought that counts - but I only question if his motive was True Heart or seeking to expand his dealer network !

[boomerangutang]

If Thaksin was around, he might donate a p.u. truck load of caffeine drinks, a can of petrol (with rag and lighter), and a few kalishnakov guns. .....Oh, and some bags of candy with his picture on it.

[AbuBacon]

A quiet walk in the hills of Bhutan and you too will be on the receiving end if free drugs. Weed in this case.they feed pigs with blow anyway. So why not sprinkle some around?

[atyclb]

Yet another example of society's "prodigal child"

[atyclb]

Just shows the brain damage yabba causes.

The line between "yaba brain damage" and "non Yaba use" is very blurry.

[Torrens54]

Hope they lock him up, no matter his claimed "good intentions."

Of course if this happened in so-called Enlightened Countries such as Australia or the U.S., there would be a legion of Do-Gooders bleating that the poor guy was under the influence of drugs himself and thus, not responsible for his actions.

The Do-Gooders would protest in the streets and on the media until the scum-bag was released and free to again sell his filthy drugs to innocent kids, including those of the Do-Gooders, who might then sing a very different tune.
