PHUKET: -- The chief of the Phang Nga City Police has confirmed today that the police officer charged with drunk driving in September last year was fined B25,000 and given a two-year suspended sentence.

 

An off-duty police officer reeking of alcohol left six people injured after his pickup truck crossed Phetkasem Rd and crashed into them – before the officer fled the scene – on Sept 9 outraging local residents in Phang Nga Town.

 

More than 30 residents gathered at Phang Nga Muang District Police Station on the night of Sept 9, calling for police to test the officer for alcohol and ensure justice was served in conducting their investigation.

Col Suwat also confirmed that Sub Lt Thanom was still in full police employment, however he has yet to be disciplined as per police disciplinary procedures.

 

 

 

In most countries, dismissal from the force would be the first action taken. I can't see that happening here though.

In most countries someone is innocent until proven guilty.

Dismissal from the force mostly follows after a guilty verdict, and not before.

Relieved of duties is standard practice before.

He's already been fines 25,000 baht and given a 2 year suspended sentence, I would say that's a clear indication of guilt, wouldn't you?

Guilt yes proper punishment no. As the old saying goes from a famous movie "I'll be back"
