Chonsawas, aides indicted
Samut Prakan Municipality mayor Chonsawas Asavahame and his two aides were yesterday indicted on three criminal charges relating to his much-publicised brawl with a policeman in May after refusing to undergo a breath test for alcohol.

Along with Chonsawas, Sakul Pramoolchai and Pratya Chaiyakul have been indicted for obstructing police duties, insulting police and the coercion of officers. All three men pleaded innocent.
The public prosecutors yesterday refused their request to postpone the indictment hearing, saying their request to have more witnesses re-interviewed had no grounds, and ordered them to appear before the Criminal Court today at 10am.
According to the indictment, Chonsawas refused to take an alcohol test after being pulled over by Makkasan traffic policeman Pol Sgt Prarob Saengnil on New Phetchaburi Road. He later allegedly drove into a petrol station where his aides locked up the officer.
