Fast and furious – man nabbed with ya ba after Phuket police chase
Eakkapop Thongtub


Siripong was reluctant to meet the press.

PHUKET: -- Thalang police patrolling the area of Moo 4 village, Baan Don, yesterday (April 13), were overtaken by a man on a black, red and white Honda Sonic motorcycle, who cut in front of them at high speed.

The officers thought they recognised the rider as Siripong Mueangkaew, 26, suspected of dealing in drugs, so they took off in pursuit.

They ordered him to stop, but instead he sped up, prompting police to call for help from a police checkpoint up the road.

Seeing the checkpoint, Siripong did a swift U-turn. But the officers following behind him had anticipated this, and slung their patrol car across the road, blocking it near the Tesco-Lotus Express store in Baan Khien.

Siripong swerved and crashed his bike, then swiftly picked himself up and fled on foot. To no avail. Aided by a local villager, the police caught him.

The ensuing police search uncovered a leather bag in in his possession, which contained 960 orange methamphetamine (ya ba) pills, all marked with the letters “WY”. They also took possession of two mobile phones. The pills would have a street value of around B400,000.

They took Siripong to the police station were, later in the day, his father Surawat, a prominent local man, turned up in a four-door, bronze-coloured Ford truck with “Ministry of Agriculture and Co-operatives” stickers on it.

He was accompanied by his lawyer and was in a bad mood, suspecting the police had mistreated his son.

When Siripong complained that his head hurt, his father and the lawyer demanded he be given medical attention. The police obliged, sending him under armed escort to Thalang hospital.

Following an inspection and X-ray, Siripong was declared undamaged and was returned to Thalang police station, where he was charged with possession of a Category 1 narcotic with intent to sell, and obstructing the police in the execution of their duty.

What an adorable face!

Bit of a change for the usual finger pointing. Looks like the perp did not want to be photographed.

I don't care what they do to the yaba dealers, but is it really so that the police can force the offenders to model for the press?

I have often wondered why the people let themselves to be photographed by the press, but I guess it has not been voluntary after all.

Technically speaking as he hasn't been found guilty he's not the offender, but actually the accused. Crime reenactments also violate the rights of the accused to be presumed innocent, especially when the police are 'directing' events. There's been cases where people wrongly accused have been forced to reenact crimes.

From memory Thailand banned these for a short time and the local media responded by wearing black.

his father Surawat, a prominent local man, turned up

He sounds more low life than prominent with an attitude like that.

''He was accompanied by his lawyer and was in a bad mood, suspecting the police had mistreated his son.''

The father should be happy if the police mistreated this mecreant a little bit....

Looks like he might have required a bit more of that in his upbringing....

''Technically speaking''

Oh well now we stand corrected...

And technically speaking, if he would not be selling the drugs to any children around, someone else would ..

>So technically innocent...

And someone violated this man's rights....oh oh.

He only took the right to sell this horrible drugs......

The father turned up in a bad mood because he thought the police may have mistreated his son! I thought with a face like that only a mother could love him.
