Former IT executive who is accused of kick-off denies police ‘ allegation that it was n’t her first offense.
A former senior IT executive who was in the news for punching a policeman officer in the face after being stopped for driving while intoxicated has refuted says she was also charged with drunken driving two years ago.
Following an incident earlier this year at an alcohol station in Bangkok’s Suan Luang city, the 51-year-old woman, who is only known as Monsinee, gave her side of the story on Saturday.
Later on Tuesday night, police patrolling the station on a road next to the highway in Suan Luang stopped and tested the driver. Her blood alcohol level was 104 millgrammes, far above the legal limit of 50.
When officers , moved to apprehend her, she resisted and scolded them using harsh language. When they took her to a policeman car, she abruptly kicked Pol Lt Col Darathorn Khajornsilp, who was about to close the door to the car. His right cheek was struck by her foot in the base.
The deputy superintendent of traffic police division 5 ( Pol Lt Col Darathorn ) was wearing a crash helmet, but he suffered some facial bruising. The girl was then transported to the police station in Prawet.
Driving while over the constitutional control, resisting arrest, and assaulting a witness are all charges against Ms. Monsinee. According to a police cause, she apparently admitted to only the cost of affected moving.
In August 2022, regional press reports later reported that police claimed that Ms. Monsinee had been accused of driving while intoxicated in August 2022. But she insisted on Saturday that this was untrue.
She even claimed to have spoken with Pol Lt Col Darathorn about the event on Tuesday in phone interviews with reporters. She did not elaborate.
She said she would just make a statement in court if she was asked whether she had been actually assaulted at the time.
The person is heard calling the soldiers “low course” in a movie that has gone viral online. She claimed that the video had been edited and that she had also said other items. She continued, adding that because she was not a person who used that kind of language, the phrase she was heard using was probably the strongest one she had always used.
In any case, she insisted she did certainly harshly scold people. She added that she was n’t drunk at the time.
Police Lt. Col. Darathorn claimed on Saturday that his speech had not yet been reviewed by police investigators. He promised to get a health check-up and provide the evidence with him to the officers.
He added that a search of criminal information revealed that the person had previously been accused of driving while intoxicated in August of 2022.
The girl claimed that the information about the incident was biased on her Instagram section on Friday. Specific details were “untrue and twisted”, she added.
She claimed she may assign a solicitor to handle the case and that she had not yet made her assertion to the police. The Facebook post was afterward deleted.
Facebook Thailand released a statement on Friday announcing that the person in the story had left the business in January.
Ms. Monsinee stated that she was currently pursuing venture-capital investments to provide seed money for Thai tech companies.
The person who was detained at a police station in the Suan Luang area was then taken to the Prawet authorities station for questioning. ( Photo supplied/Wassayos Ngamkham )
