Rob Ford’s black Escalade impounded in cottage country: reports
Rob Ford not in SUV when it was pulled over, says police source
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford sits at a city council executive committee meeting at City Hall in Toronto, May 28, 2013. Two top aides quit Ford’s office on Monday as the embattled leader of Canada’s biggest city faces lingering allegations he was caught smoking crack cocaine on video, accusations he has firmly denied. The departures of the mayor’s press secretary and deputy press secretary came just days after Ford fired his chief of staff. The mayor confirmed on Monday that both George Christopoulos and Isaac Ransom left of their own accord. REUTERS/Mark Blinch (CANADA - Tags: POLITICS TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY) - RTX1041F
A police source tells CityNews that Mayor Rob Ford’s black Cadillac Escalade has been impounded in Bracebridge.
The mayor was not in the vehicle when it was impounded around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Ford’s lawyer Dennis Morris said in a phone interview that he couldn’t confirm whether it was the mayor’s SUV that was impounded.
The OPP in Bracebridge charged Lee Anne McRobb of Muskoka Lakes Township with impaired driving and driving over the legal limit.
McRobb, 36, was stopped at Muskoka District Road 169 at Butterfly Road, which is a few minutes away from Greenstone Residential Addiction Treatment Centre in Bala.
She is scheduled to appear in court on June 17.
