A senior Toronto cop was driving a police-issued SUV on Highway 401 with an open bottle of Appleton Estate Rum underneath the driver’s seat, then “almost fell over” at the scene of a crash, newly released police documents allege.
A high-ranking Toronto police officer who once headed the force’s police disciplinary tribunal was driving a police-issued SUV on Highway 401 with an open bottle of Appleton Estate Rum underneath the driver’s seat, then “almost fell over” at the scene of a crash, newly released police documents allege.
Police documents outlining the allegations against Hussein provide new details about what allegedly happened on the evening of Jan. 13, 2022. The allegations have not been proven at the tribunal and the case is on hold pending Hussein’s criminal case. “The investigating OPP officer observed that you were unsteady on your feet and that you almost fell over,” according to the documents.
“In so doing, you committed misconduct in that you did act in a disorderly manner or in a manner prejudicial to discipline or likely to bring discredit upon the reputation of the Toronto Police Service,” the documents say of the criminal charges Hussein now faces.
