Two Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officers accused of wrongful arrest and excessive force should have their charges stayed, their lawyers argued before the police force's public complaints commission Thursday. Ball said the officer told him to "get on the effing ground," but he wouldn't. The video shows Zackary walking back into the house and two more officers — Morgan and Wagner — arriving on scene. Wagner's lawyer, Stephen Orr, left and Morgan's lawyer, Ken Mahoney, right, argue charges against their clients should be stayed. Dennis and Zackary Ball spent a night in the St. John's lockup after being arrested on charges that were later dropped.
