Thai rock star Sek Loso sent to prison for illegal possession of firearms and drugs

Well-known Thai rock musician “Sek Loso” was sent to Min Buri prison on Tuesday for about three years, after the Supreme Court found him guilty of obstruction, illegal possession of firearms and drugs.

“Sek Loso”, real name Seksan Sukpimai, resisted police arrest when they went to his house in Nakhon Si Thammarat on December 31, 2017, to execute an arrest warrant issued by the provincial court on a charge of discharging a firearm into the air without a reason.

A special police commando unit had to be called in to subdue him.

The provincial court originally sentenced him to 32 months and 15 months in prison after finding him guilty of the charges. Some of this was suspended by the Criminal Court. Altogether he was sentenced to serve 45 months

On May 7, 2020, the Appeals Court changed the imprisonment to 44 months.

The Supreme Court has, however, now sentenced him to a total of 36 months and 20 days
