Nonthaburi Police Officer Suspended Following Assault Incident
A police sergeant from Pak Kret has been suspended from duty after allegedly assaulting a commando officer while intoxicated at a karaoke bar.
On November 10, 2026, authorities in Nonthaburi province issued an order to suspend Police Sergeant Sathaporn Passa from the Pak Kret Police Station, pending further investigation. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the officer and an associate were allegedly intoxicated at a karaoke venue when they confronted and physically assaulted a commando officer. The altercation reportedly stemmed from a misunderstanding, as the sergeant mistakenly believed the victim was falsely claiming to be a member of the commando unit. Following the incident, the victim filed a formal complaint, leading the Pak Kret Police Station's fact-finding committee to recommend the sergeant's dismissal. Consequently, the Nonthaburi Provincial Police Commander signed an order for his immediate suspension from government service. While this incident highlights internal disciplinary actions within the Royal Thai Police, it serves as a reminder of the strict legal standards expected of law enforcement personnel. The suspended officer retains the right to appeal the decision to the Police Merit Protection Commission within 30 days. As the legal process continues, further details regarding the status of the associate involved and the final outcome of the disciplinary proceedings remain to be confirmed.
