Scots yob caught firing stun gun in public park claimed he was just ‘showing off’

A man seen firing a stun gun disguised as a torch is facing lengthy jail term.

Jamie Garrity, 35, was caught after “showing off” the device in a park in Prestonpans, East Lothian in June, 2020.

At the High Court in Livingston he admitted two stun gun charges.

He also admitted making a homophobic remark to a police officer.

Judge Lord Harrower said: “It’s a charge that carries a minimum sentence of five years subject to exceptional circumstances.”

Garrity was remanded in custody prior to sentencing later in the year.
