Huw Masons
INDICTMENT
- THE PROSECUTION CHARGES THAT:
- On 26/JUL/2024, then-GSB officer Huw Parry was present at City Hall, as was citizen Lee Ping, who was there to inquire about employment. At no time was Mr. Ping under arrest or subject to lawful detainment. During this time, Mr. Parry clocked onto GSB duty, proceeded to handcuff Mr. Ping, removed his own shirt to use as a face covering, retrieved his government-issued taser, and discharged it on Mr. Ping before returning to the time-clock area. This sequence of events is captured on bodycam footage, CCTV, and corroborated by multiple witness statements. Following the incident, Mr. Ping reported the occurrence to law enforcement.
Upon arrival at City Hall, responding officers encountered Huw Parry with other GSB agents. When officers asked Mr. Parry directly who tazed Mr. Ping, he initially denied knowledge. Only after officers viewed CCTV footage did Mr. Parry admit to the action, justifying it by stating that Mr. Ping was being “very difficult and annoying.”
