On May 9, a Bangkok police officer known online as Da Parinda Pakeesuk shared the tale of an unusual 'offender' - a lost American Shorthair cat brought in by a citizen.
Officer Pakeesuk warmly welcomed the feline into the station and took care of it.
Clad in a cute pink harness, the spirited little cat scratched and bit several on-duty officers, revealing her feisty personality.
Before releasing the cat, an officer followed protocol by recording the paw prints of the little 'suspect,' adding a touch of humour to the situation. Photo: Parinda Yukol Pakeesuk/Facebook
'This cat has been charged with assaulting police officers and is about to be detained. Please share this post so her owner can come and bail her out,' Pakeesuk wrote in a lighthearted post.

Chinese fugitive's daring escape in Thailand ends in recapture 200km away
Chinese national who escaped from Thai police custody by dramatically leaping from a second-floor window was recaptured less than 24 hours later in a hotel 200km (124 miles) away after an extensive manhunt. Advertisement Li Jian, 38, was arrested at Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport on Wednesday as he was about to board an AirAsia flight to Da Nang, Vietnam , local media reported. An existing warrant for his arrest related to fraud had been issued by the Pattaya Provincial Court earlier that day. Li reportedly convinced an unsuspecting victim to exchange Chinese yuan for a stablecoin in exchange for investment opportunities. The victim transferred USDT tokens, valued at more than 1.26 million baht (US$38,600), in exchange for 178,000 yuan (US$24,800). Li did not transfer the yuan, prompting the victim to file a police report, according to Thai daily Khao Sod.

Thai military ups ante in Cambodia border row, says it's ready for ‘high-level operation'
Thailand's military said it is ready to launch a 'high-level operation' to counter any violation of its sovereignty, in the strongest words yet in a simmering border dispute with Cambodia that re-erupted with a deadly clash last week. The army said in a statement late on Thursday that its intelligence gathering indicated Cambodia had stepped up its military readiness at their border while diplomatic efforts were ongoing, describing that as 'worrisome'. The statement was in sharp contrast with one from the government just hours earlier, when it urged Cambodia to positively engage in dialogue via an existing mechanism between them. 'The army is now ready for a high-level military operation in case it is necessary to retaliate against the violation of sovereignty,' it said, ahead of a meeting of its armed forces top brass scheduled for Friday. 'Operations of units at the border have been conducted carefully, calmly and based on an understanding of the situation to prevent losses on all sides, but at the same time, are ready to defend the country's sovereignty to the fullest extent if the situation is called for.' Cambodia's government did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Thai military statement on Friday. The governments of the two countries had for days exchanged carefully worded statements committing to dialogue after a brief skirmish in an undemarcated border area on May 28 in which a Cambodian soldier was killed.
