Pol Lt Col Chanuchan Pongsuwat, Inspector of Thalang Police Station, said, “He was suspicious in many ways. When we searched him we found cannabis resin in his trouser pocket.” “He was arrested and charged with possession of a type 5 illegal drug,” said Col Chanuchan. “He is now in the cells.” Monsit’s waiting friend, spotting the arrest, promptly turned his motorbike around and sped away from the checkpoint, eluding capture.
