A veteran Toronto cop accused of assaulting and threatening family
members has been ordered to surrender his service handgun as part of his
bail conditions. The officer, who has been with the service for 28
years, was released on bail yesterday. He returns to court May 25.

Hamilton police had charged him with two counts of assault with a weapon
and one count of threatening after a domestic incident at his Hamilton
home Wednesday. He has been ordered to live with his sister in Hamilton
who pledged $3,000 to secure his release and who will act as his surety
to make sure he abides by the bail conditions.

"The victim in this matter reported the involved suspect is a police
officer with the Toronto Police Service. The allegations are the victim
and her adult son were assaulted and threatened," Hamilton media
relations officer Sgt. Mike Webber wrote in a press release yesterday.
"Both victims were interviewed by Hamilton police and the suspect was
arrested without incident ...," Webber added.

In addition to the bail conditions, Justice of the Peace Vince Formosi
ordered him not to have contact with his wife and son.
