Colwyn cop held for trial for alleged use of stun gun on teen
There will be a trial in the case of a Delaware County police office who admitted to tasering a teenager in custody.
Cpl. Trevor Parham was in court this morning for a hearing where the Delaware County Times reports he was held for trial on assault and oppression charges.
Police say Parham has admitted to using a stun gun to subdue a 17-year the Colwyn Police Department had in custody. Parham has said the teenager was unruly in the cell, while other reports indicate the teen was wearing handcuffs and leg shackles at the time of the incident.
The department and county district attorney’s office are both investigating.
