Man arrested after firearms incident at Napier’s Park Island can now be named

The man allegedly at the centre of a major gun alert at Napier’s Park Island last month can now be named.

He is Jamie McColl, aged 44.

An order prohibiting publication of McColl’s name lapsed today when he appeared in court.

McColl was arrested at Park Island on December 10 after police swarmed the sports ground.

He faces a number of charges including firing a gun with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and discharging a firearm with reckless disregard.

McColl appeared in Napier District Court via video from prison this morning where he was remanded in custody until his next appearance on February 5.
