On April 2, Jury was arrested and charged with unlawfully entering a building, assault with intent to injure, willful damage, possession of an offensive weapon and threatening behavior, his father, Roy Jury, later told The New Zealand Herald.
“I and Andy’s extended family and friends are deeply saddened and bewildered by this distressing event," Roy told the publication.
