That confrontation was described in a Burlington courtroom on Wednesday by Constable Cole Repta. The veteran constable is testifying as a Crown witness in the trial of three of his team members on the Halton Regional Police Tactical and Rescue Unit. Repta's team members, constables Matthew Kohler, Joe Davis and Richard Dodds have each been charged with assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon and unlawfully causing bodily harm. Kohler also faces one additional charge of assault with a weapon. Repta was part of the four-member unit that, along with other officers, responded to an emergency call from a condominium on Marine Drive on Nov. 25, 2006. The report stated that an elderly man with a history of Parkinson's disease was armed with two knives and acting strangely. During the previous day's testimony, Repta described how he and the team leader, Constable Matthew Kohler, crept into the Marine Drive apartment to assess the situation. It was here that Repta said he caught sight of 79-year-old Gerry Morgan, who was in the kitchen swinging a pair of butcher knives through the air, completely unaware of the officer's presence. Morgan's wife, Edna, previously testified that Morgan had started a new medication for his Parkinson's disease and had been reacting badly to it. Having seen Morgan's behaviour, the tactical team officers left the apartment, but returned moments later with two additional tactical team members, constables Richard Dodds and Joe Davis. At this point, Morgan had not committed a crime, however, based on his actions, the acting sergeant on the scene decided he was too unstable to simply be contained. With a ballistic shield in one hand and a pistol in the other, Repta was the first to approach the kitchen as the team moved to apprehend Morgan. Assistant Crown Attorney Anthony Leitch asked Repta if he feared for his safety as he approached Morgan, who Repta said was still swinging the knives in a trace-like state and muttering to himself. "I feared the male with the knives could have come to my location and stabbed me," said Repta. "If he had moved towards you what would you have done," asked Leitch. "I would have shot him," said Repta. As it was, Morgan made no move towards the officers, but did face them. We Will Not Be Undersold!
