Christo­pher Sama­roo, the fa­ther of po­lice shoot­ing vic­tim Joshua Sama­roo, was re­unit­ed with his fam­i­ly on Tues­day night, af­ter he was grant­ed $100,000 sta­tion bail.

Emerg­ing in­to the arms of a rel­a­tive who ar­rived to take him home, Sama­roo re­mained qui­et as he ex­it­ed the Bel­mont Po­lice Sta­tion.

The se­nior Sama­roo was charged with a sum­ma­ry of­fence un­der Reg­u­la­tion 11(a) of the Emer­gency Pow­ers Reg­u­la­tions, which makes it an of­fence to at­tempt, whether ver­bal­ly or by oth­er means, to in­flu­ence pub­lic opin­ion in a man­ner that could prej­u­dice pub­lic safe­ty.
