An eastern Ontario MPP says one of his sons was arrested Friday night and another hit with a stun gun following a dispute in a Perth, Ont., bar over COVID-19 masks. Randy Hillier, the independent MPP for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, said one son was charged with public intoxication and the other was Tasered but not arrested, according to a letter he tweeted Saturday and addressed to Ontario Provincial Police commissioner Thomas Carrique. OPP confirmed that a stun gun was discharged during the arrests, which occurred outside a bar on Foster Street at around 10:30 p.m. Became 'assaultive'Once outside, some of the people involved in the dispute refused to leave and became "assaultive," according to a media release from the Lanark OPP detachment. The stun gun was fired once during the arrests, Dickson said, and two men were charged with public intoxication.
