Lawyer Pim Takes Arrested Man's Mother to File Justice Complaint Against Police Unit After Discovering Procedural Violations

On May 26, 2025, at the Central Investigation Police Bureau's complaint center, a 67-year-old mother of Ritthisak, accompanied by lawyer Pichyavadee Jirochoteetsittha (known as Lawyer Pim, runner-up in Miss Grand Nakhon Pathom 2026) and legal representative Napritthee Jirochoteetsittha, filed a justice complaint requesting an investigation into the arrest procedures conducted by Muang Nakhon Pathom Police. They submitted criminal case notices, photos of arcade game machines, and court testimony transcripts as evidence.
Lawyer Pim revealed that on September 26, 2023, Ritthisak surrendered at Muang Nakhon Pathom Police Station on intimidation charges at 8:00 AM. However, at approximately 12:30 PM the same day, approximately 30 police officers with a court warrant conducted a home search while Ritthisak was already in detention. The mother stated that officers called her to identify drugs allegedly found in her son's pickup truck, which had been sent to a repair shop. Fearful and shocked, she signed an acknowledgment.
The complainants identified several procedural violations: evidence logs show missing items, the arrest team leader admitted seeing arcade machines but claimed too much evidence prevented cataloging them, yet the mother witnessed officers loading two arcade machines onto the police truck with no log entry. Additionally, officers confiscated a closed-circuit TV memory card, allegedly destroying evidence of the search.
Ritthisak claims the entire incident stems from harassment due to a severe personal dispute with a police sergeant-major over a woman, nearly escalating to gunfire, and that one arrest team member is his estranged former father-in-law with longstanding conflicts. The family and lawyer therefore petitioned the Central Investigation Police Bureau commander for a fair investigation into the arrest unit's conduct.
Lawyer Pim added that the drug case is currently in witness testimony phase at court, so details remain confidential. However, they contest the DNA test claiming officers failed to inform the suspect of his rights or the test's purpose, and the suspect believed it was a COVID test and never signed a DNA consent form.
