The family of a former athlete who evaded imprisonment on Thursday evening faces five claims after she threatened to shoot a police officer and made him pull towards Ayutthaya. The chase continues for her father.

Authorities in Bang Sue went to the Criminal Court on Saturday to ask for permission to detain her for another 12 weeks. She has been accused of illegal drug possession, carrying it without authority, carrying it in public without cause, and improper confinement.

Santi Jae-arlee’s family, Ms. Potjanee, had fled a stolen arrest warrant and eluded a lonely building close to the house her husband had broken into. When officers surrounded the home on Thursday evening, he opened fire from it, killing three outside.

The girl threatened to harm herself after learning about her husband’s condition. It took more than two hours for authorities to calm her down. She eventually ran away from the residence and imprisoned a policeman at gunpoint, obstructing him to push towards the Ayutthaya Wang Noi area. She afterwards turned herself in to the authorities early on Friday.

Ms. Potjanee expressed regret for what transpired before being taken to court.
