Both Suchart and Nhove were taken to Chalong Police Station where they were charged with possession of a Category 5 drug and possession of firearm without permit and possession of a Category 5 drug respectively.

He gets charged with carrying a gun when he was at home while his friend he smokes pot with, was carrying the gun?

 

So if someone robs a bank and occasionally comes over for a beer, do I get raided and charged for bank robbery too?

Yes. Why not?
