A sink falls on David.

| June 17, 1969. The Chiang Rai Airport staff called Moerman, asserting that his child had broken a sink in the restroom of the airport. However, Moerman disagreed and countered, saying that the sink was broken and fell on his son. The staff wanted to file a criminal prosecution because it was the director's restroom, which was open to the general public. Moerman decide to call the sheriff and Arkom. Both of them helped resolve the situation, defending Moerman by emphasizing that the airport was a public place. If there was to be a lawsuit for damages, it might be filed with the civil court, not as a criminal prosecution. | Punch card

Bottle-bomb case.

| July 2, 1969. In Pan claimed justice for his son, who was punished solely because he caused trouble with Uthai, the police who had influence in the village. He often exploited his authority to threaten the others. In Pan's son and his friends were all captured, but his friends had been bailed out because they agreed to pay a bribe to police of 3000 baht each. But In Pan's son had not been bailed out because Uthai wanted to ‘haze’ him. This case became a fight to ‘save face’ because if two youngsters who were friends of the In Pan's son were arrested, Uthai would lose face. In addition, the penalty of In Pan's son may be reduced. | Punch card
