Former Executive Denies Intoxication in Hit-and-Run Dispute, Claims Self-Defense Fear; Clarifies Report About Three Police Stations
A former mobile executive denied being intoxicated during a January hit-and-run dispute, claiming he was struck by the other party and acted in self-defense during the heated argument that followed a minor vehicle collision.
At 3:45 p.m. on May 13, 2569, a former mobile company executive arrived at Ladphrao Police Station to respond to allegations. He confirmed being struck multiple times on the back of his head and body by the injured party, but acknowledged that the January 7 incident began as a heated argument following a minor vehicle collision, where he admits to inappropriate language and mutual provocation. He stated he is willing to take responsibility for all damages but reserves legal rights regarding what he views as excessive claims.
The executive denied consuming alcohol while driving or being intoxicated, explaining that his dazed appearance in videos resulted from being struck. He claimed grabbing the other party's arm was a safety precaution, uncertain what they might produce from close contact. He characterized the case as minor but noted media attention stems from his former employment at a major company, from which he departed over three years ago, and emphasized this is a personal matter unrelated to that organization.
Regarding the confusion about police station reports, he acknowledged the incident occurred in a boundary area shared by three stations—Kok Khram, Ladphrao, and Khannayao—explaining he initially went to Kok Khram Police Station on January 8 before learning the correct jurisdiction and visiting Ladphrao on January 9.
He stated there are no personal grievances with the injured party and expressed openness to discussing compensation, though criminal liability cannot be waived. He displayed medical documentation showing bruising at the back of his head with a 0.6-centimeter laceration, plus bruising on the left cheekbone, both elbows, right chest, right hip, and multiple abrasions elsewhere. The executive asserted he has no intention to flee and questioned why he would do so, confirming he provided full truthful statements to investigators and will cooperate with legal proceedings.
