TORONTO
– Toronto Canada mayor defies call for resignation despite police confirms they
have video caught him smoking crack cocaine.
Mayor
Rob Ford, 44, said that he has no reason to step down from his position and
denied the accusation.
Police
reports show they discovered the video from a computer hard drive that was confiscated
when they conducted a drug investigation.
In an
interview, Police Chief William Blair said the incident was reported before to
their office but refused to give further details or description about the
video.
In May, reports
circulated regarding the video of Ford through the website Gawker and the
Toronto Star newspaper.
The
newspaper described it as “Mayor
Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine is being shopped around Toronto by a group of
Somali men involved in the drug trade” however, the video was never shown
to the public.
After
the spread of said report, Ford’s friend and driver Alexander Lisi was charged
with drug trafficking.
Police
are monitoring photos and information showing Ford and Lisi together.
Meanwhile,
Blair said they are disappointed with the video and considering it now as a
problem in the city.
He
assured they will present this video in court and will continue monitoring Ford
to prop the evidence and file charges against the official.
