A Colwyn cop who allegedly stun gunned a handcuffed teen in police custody has been held for trial on simple assault charges.

Cpl. Trevor Parham appeared for a preliminary hearing before Senior Magisterial District Judge David Videon this morning. The alleged victim, 17-year-old Da’Qwaun Jackson, and County Detective Thomas Worrilow were the only witnesses to take the stand.

Vodpod videos no longer available.
