Charges against officer found valid

The charges are: failing to perform his duty with decency and fairness, leading to severe damage; recklessness causing damage to the force; negligence to perform his duty, leading to severe damage; and allowing exploitation by others, leading to injustice and damage to the civil service.
Pol Colonel Sunthorn Khemaprapa, who chaired the panel, said it would summon Pannapon to hear the charges in three days and give him the opportunity to explain himself.
The committee would then discuss the matter further and submit its ruling to the Police Commission to consider suitable punishment. This would entail a discharge from the force, either with or without pension.
Pannapon is accused of trying to help Red Bull heir Worrayuth Yoovidhya to avoid hit-and-run charges.
After the incident in which Pol Senior Sgt-Major Wichean Klinprasert was killed, Pannapon wrongly took a butler at Worrayuth’s house into custody.
