A 19-year-old man was fined a total of Bt9,200 on Tuesday after being found guilty of a series of charges including shouting and spitting at police.

The man’s mother, identified as Sarawan, 38, was sentenced to one month in jail and fined Bt5,000 as she also committed libel acts against the officer, a Criminal Court ruled.

The man, whose name was withheld, was riding on a motorcycle and was stopped at a police road checkpoint in Thung Mahamek area on Monday. He was booked for riding without a helmet, driving licence and having no licence plate on his motorcycle.
