Admitting that meatball sales haven’t been enough to
pay the rent, a 21-year-old Naklua woman was arrested for picking up a
delivery of 400 methamphetamine pills police allege she planned to sell.
A Banglamung police officer was tipped off to the
drugs Jan. 5 when he spotted a motorcyclist throw a plastic bag near a
power pole behind Banglamung Hospital. The officer staked out the site
he said Cha-em Thongkrasan stopped at the pole and picked up the
package.
Pulling the package out of her pocket, the officer
said he found 400 ya ba tablets.
Police said Cha-em confessed to taking up drug
dealing to supplement her food cart work, which has been suffering. She
said she had so far made three deliveries of methamphetamines and used
the money to support her children.
Police questioned the woman for her alleged dealer’s
name and are pushing the drug trail as far as they can take it.
