Thai/British actress and cop killer sobs as 20,000 baht bail posted

Thai/British actress Anna Rees, who killed a cop in 2015, has been released on 20,000 baht bail after her latest bad behaviour.

Relatives arrived with the cash to get her out of the Huay Kwang cells as she sobbed about her stressful life, reported Thai Rath.

She was arrested on Sunday after being found drunk in her BMW Z4 car after a rant at a pub in the area. She also hit another car in the

pub’s parking lot.

Acting station chief Ekakhom Janthanarat said that the actress had admitted drunk driving though there would be further toxicology tests for drugs the results of which would be announced in three weeks.

If she was also on drugs there will be a further charge to the one already laid for drink driving, Ekakhom said. She has denied taking drugs, he said.

Following a finger pointing rant after her arrest the police have, however, taken pity on the celeb and will not be charging her with defamation and insulting the force.

Ekakhom said that her words were spoken in a state of high stress while she was drunk.

But the case where she killed a cop in 2015, while in itself resolved, will be something that the court will consider when the actress appears, he said.

Anna – also known as Anna Hambawaris – drove her Mercedes-Benz into the parked patrol car of Suphanburi policeman Napadol Wongbandit, 44, on the motorway in Prawet district.

She did not go to jail. Instead she paid an unspecified sum to the parents of the cop and then became a nun for a short while.

Police said the damage to the car she hit in the parking lot in this latest incident would be sorted out this evening.

Meanwhile, Anna sobbed to the press after her release yesterday saying that she was facing personal and family problems and needed a rest. She said that this latest incident was very tiring.

She hoped she would feel better when they see her again.

She said that the collision with the other car on this occasion was as a result of stress making her “unaware of her surroundings”.
