After going viral for being allegedly “wrongly imprisoned” in Thailand, Conor Jevons has been exposed in damning screenshots accusing him of scamming people. An alleged victim has spoken to Bored Panda and has claimed that Conor was arrested while “high on drugs” after owing him thousands of dollars. Chakkaphat Proms, who runs the Take A Bull exotic bully kennel in Nakhonphanom, Thailand, claimed he lost 75,000 Thai Baht (THB), around $2,045, after Conor had agreed to pay a 25% deposit to buy one of the breeder’s dogs for a total of THB 100,000 ($2,727). Upon receiving his puppy on April 28, Conor allegedly withheld the remaining THB 75,000 from Chakkaphat, who, after seven days of constantly begging for his money, went to the local police. “[The police] didn’t help me,” Chakkaphat told Bored Panda on Wednesday (June 19).

A complaint filed with the Royal Thai police in the Surat Thani province, which Chakkaphat shared on his Instagram page on Saturday (June 15), confirms that the dog breeder had sold a “female blue breed” who was two months old to Conor back in April.

It is unclear whether Conor was then sentenced to prison specifically on charges related to his alleged scams or any alleged drug possession. However, law enforcement discovered that the accused conman had violated his visa terms in the country. “He was arrested for evading his visa for 197 days and cheating many people in Thailand,” Chakkaphat claimed.

He smoked weed around her. I didn’t like that,” the stunned kennel owner revealed.

Thailand’s visa policy is stringent, with strict penalties for overstaying. According to the Immigration Act of Thailand, individuals who overstay their visa by more than 90 days can face significant fines, blacklisting, and even imprisonment. Overstays of 200 days or more can lead to detention and deportation, and the individual may be blacklisted from re-entering Thailand for up to 10 years.

The former prisoner further told us that he could “prove” that all allegations made against him were false with “bank statements.” Share icon Image credits: takeabull_kennel Nevertheless, Conor did not want to share these statements with us at this time. As for Chakkaphat, he is still willing to sell dogs to foreigners, but he will now require the full payment upfront. “I saw those people congratulating and encouraging the bad people and chatting to criticize me a lot,” the Thai man said.
