Picture: Colin Murty Source: PerthNow TWO WA police officers who allegedly tasered Kevin Spratt multiple times at the Perth Watch House almost five years ago are now facing criminal charges. There are reports that the two officers, Sen-Constable Troy Tomlin and Sgt Aaron Strahan, will be charged with assault related offences over their alleged involvement in the tasering incident which made international headlines. The revelations come after The Sunday Times revealed in June last year that Director of Public Prosecutions Joe McGrath had advised Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan that the two officers be charged with two counts of assault over the 2008 stun-gun attack. A CCC investigation found the two officers had used "unreasonable and unjustified" force in stunning Spratt up to 12 times, including nine times in little over a minute, after he failed to comply with a strip search on August 31, 2008. Sen-Constable Tomlin and Sgt Strahan were subject to internal disciplinary proceedings and in November 2009 were fined $1200 and $750 respectively. Spratt is currently serving a jail term for other non-related offences.
