An Issan painter was arrested for allegedly dealing drugs in Bang Saray.
Sutthawat Harnrat, 37, was captured by Sattahip District Chief Phawat
Lertmukda and National Command Center for Drugs officers in a sting
operation June 27. Officers recovered eight methamphetamine tablets and a
1,000 baht note.
The arrest stemmed from the earlier capture of Chokchai Bunthuam, 34, for
the purchase of two ya ba tablets. Authorities convinced Chokchai to help
them nab his dealer in an undercover buy.
Sutthawat, a painter from Udon Thani, discovered the plot before officers
sprung, however, and fled out a window and across four roofs before he was
injured jumping a 2-meter-tall wall.
