Assault Acquittal Leaves Trail Family with Questions, Heartbreak
Trail firefighter Gregory Ferraby was found not guilty on assault and threats charges after a 2023 Spokane Street case that injured Wong.
- On April 24, a Rossland provincial court acquitted Trail firefighter Gregory Ferraby of assault and uttering threats charges stemming from an April 2023 incident involving Darryl Wong in the 900-block of Spokane Street.
- Ferraby remained the sole defendant after the BC Prosecution Service stayed assault charges against Richard Morris and Wesley Parsons, both previously accused in the 2023 case.
- Adena Wong, who advocated for her brother, described the acquittal as leaving her family with heartbreak and unanswered questions, noting the trial's end does not conclude their search for truth.
- The family filed a civil lawsuit in 2024 naming Ferraby, Morris, and Parsons, along with Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, and the City of Trail.
- Broader community attitudes toward vulnerable people created barriers during the investigation, Adena Wong said, citing social isolation and limited surveillance evidence that hindered the case into her brother's assault.
