A man from East Lothian has been jailed for five years after intimidating youths at a children's skatepark.
As the Daily Record reports, Jamie Garrity pulled out a taser, disguised as a torch at a park in Prestonpans, East Lothian, in June 2020. Prosecutors told the High Court in Edinburgh that the 35-year-old fired the device 'between 20 to 30 times'.
Garrity then went on to march towards a 14-year-old boy with the nine-inch weapon. As the young boy heard a 'distinctive crackling noise', he instantly recognised it as the sound of the taser being discharged.
