Wesley Royce (1976/1977 - 11 July 2012) was a male resident of Holby. Following his escape from prison in 2012, he was stunned by a police officer which was the primary cause for the Holby riots. On 11 July 2012, Wesley was released from prison, having been incarcerated for a while. He returned home to find that his girlfriend, Faith Portman was still dealing drugs which caused a loud argument to start. When Wesley punched through a glass door in rage, a neighbour called the police for a domestic disturbance. In anger shortly after, Faith used a knife block to hit Wesley over the head, and he picked up a kitchen knife in self defence in case he needed it. However, when the police arrived with stun guns one of the officers saw the knife-wielding Wesley as a threat, and stunned him.
