Police administered a preliminary urine test on Poteh Nakjang, which showed a light purple color indicating possible methamphetamine use. They then escorted him to Theptharin Hospital on Rama IV Road for a confirmatory test. Poteh insisted the result was normal, claiming the test showed two lines rather than a positive reading, and said he went to the hospital voluntarily. Authorities said that if drugs are confirmed he will face legal action and treatment, while a separate defamation complaint filed by Chompu over allegations made on the talk show 'Hone Krasae' will proceed with charges but no immediate arrest.
