He was arrested at 4pm on Monday when police spotted the stolen vehicle in front of a house in Tambon Mae Tom and found other evidence inside. Pongsak, who has served three previous jail terms for theft and robberies, was released last September. When his 18-year-old girlfriend broke the news to him that she was two-months pregnant he broke down and cried with the mix feeling of joy at the pregnancy but guilt that he would likely not see his child growing up for years to come. He said he was sorry for what he did and hugged his girlfriend before police escorted him to the detention cell. Pongsak's girlfriend said she and the baby would wait for his release from jail so they could reunite in the future.
