Grandmother tasered: Shocking new details emerge about cop Kristian White trends now
A senior constable who allegedly Tasered a frail great-grandmother once unlawfully detained a motorcyclist, with his shift partner allegedly threatening to break the man's legs.
Shocking new details have emerged about Senior Constable Kristian White, as investigations continue into the incident at Yallambie Lodge nursing home in Cooma in southern NSW continue.
Clare Nowland, a 95-year-old dementia sufferer was in a walking frame and carrying a knife when Senior Constable White blasted her with a Taser at her aged care home at about 4 am last Wednesday.
She's now undergoing end-of-life care after the blast caused Ms Rowland to fall and hit her head, leaving her with bleeding on the brain.
Senior Constable White has not been charged and is being supported by members of the local area command as internal investigations into the incident continue.
He has been stood down on full pay.
It's since emerged he and an NSW Police colleague were previously blasted by a magistrate over their actions during a confrontation with a member of the public which occurred outside their jurisdiction three years ago.
It has emerged that NSW Police Senior Constable Kristian White (pictured) unlawfully detained a motorcyclist and illegally recorded the confrontation three years
The two officers confronted a man on a motorbike in a service station in Hume in the ACT and recorded the encounter on their body-worn cameras.
A Canberra court heard the officers suspected Allan Watts, was drug affected and detained him until Australian Federal Police officers arrived at the scene, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Watts was later charged with driving while disqualified and possession of a knife in public.
His solicitor argued the NSW officers had gone outside their jurisdiction and didn't not have the power to detain him or record on their body-worn cameras.
The court also heard Senior Constable White's colleague had told Watts they would 'break your legs' if he tried to flee.
ACT magistrate Bernadette Boss ruled the police body-worn video footage was inadmissible and dismissed the charges.
She was scathing of the officers and described their conduct as 'outrageous'.
'I'm horrified by the conduct of these officers,' Magistrate Boss said.
The second officer in the 2020 incident was not involved in last week's incident at Yallambie Lodge.
Clare Nowland is now receiving end of life care in Cooma District Hospital, in southern NSW , after she was critically injured last Wednesday morning
Senior Constable White has 12 years experience in the police force and had been featured on the Monaro Police District Facebook page over the years.
Comments he made moments before firing his taser at Ms Nowland are set to form a crucial part of the investigation into his conduct.
It could be weeks before any outcome is reached and if any charged will be laid, police sources told the Daily Telegraph.
It was revealed on Monday a senior police officer and security guards have been stationed at the hospital where Ms Nowland is fighting for life.
Cooma District Hospital has ramped up security in the wake of national and even international uproar over the incident.
Superintendent John Klepczarek, the Monaro police area commander, is stationed outside her hospital room.
'He's been there a fair bit answering the family if they had any questions,' the spokesman said.
Family friend, Andrew Thaler, also said private security guards had been deployed at the hospital and are 'vetting everyone who wants to visit Ms Nowland'.
Mr Thaler has made repeated calls for Police Commissioner Karen Webb to sit with Mrs Nowland's family for the difficult task of watching the body worn footage of her being Tasered as she slowly approached officers on her walking frame.
Daily Mail Australia has asked the NSW Health Minister Ryan Park and the NSW Health department to confirm that the hospital security detail is in place and why.
Mr Park's office said the it was up to NSW Health to answer these questions because they were 'operational' and it was 'inappropriate' to comment while an active police investigation was being carried out.
However, NSW Health did not respond to the questions.
Revelations of security and and a senior police officer stationed at her ward come as the NSW Police Commissioner comes under pressure for refusing watch confronting bodycam footage her two officers took of the Tasering, saying she did not want the video 'tainting' her views of the case.
Webb also claimed on Monday morning that an initial police statement about Ms Nowland had omitted mention of the Taser in order to protect the family.
The initial statement released from NSW Police - and approved by the NSW police commissioner on Wednesday - only revealed there had been an 'interaction' between the great grandmother and police.
Tasered great grandmother Clare Nowland is reportedly surrounded by an extraordinary security detail at Cooma District Hospital, with some measures resembling the kind of protection for accused criminals
