PATTAYA, Thailand – Former police officer Adisorn Tummato, 47, was arrested by Pattaya Tourist Police after evading arrest for three years, November 23. He had been wanted on multiple charges, including assault, extortion, and misconduct. Adisorn, who was dismissed from his position as a police officer at Samut Prakan’s Bang Pu Police Station, was located at a popular agogo bar on Walking Street, Pattaya.
The fugitive had gained attention in 2021 for a violent incident where he rammed a pickup truck into a sedan and attacked the vehicle’s occupants. His criminal behavior, which also included extortion and illegal detention, led to his dismissal and multiple arrest warrants. Following his discharge from the police force, Adisorn attempted to escape the charges by working as a fisherman in his hometown of Satun. When financial hardship hit, he moved to Pattaya and worked as a delivery man for an alcohol distributor while hiding his identity with a hat.
After a tip-off, Pattaya Tourist Police launched an investigation and apprehended him. Adisorn admitted to being the person named in the arrest warrants. He was taken into custody and transferred to the Bang Phli Police Station for further legal action.
