New Ford documents released

Newly released documents show Rob Ford’s sister told police the Toronto mayor was smoking crack cocaine with her one night in April while in the company of a drug dealer and a friend who is facing criminal charges.

The documents, which contain allegations not proven in court, were filed with a court by police to obtain a search warrant. They indicate Kathy Ford was interviewed twice by investigators after reports surfaced last May of a second video allegedly showing the mayor smoking crack.

Peter Jacobsen, the lawyer representing the media, says the allegations, which have not been proven in court, are not alarming: “What’s new to us is what Kathy Ford, Mayor Ford’s sister says in the basement when they were partying with Mr. James, Mr. Lisi and the mayor and Kathy Ford. And what she says with respect to the alleged physical fight that occurred with Mayor Ford and Mr. Lisi, that there was no real fight, it was just them playing around, horsing around.”

Police say she told them her brother arrived at her house intoxicated but not “high” and that a man sold drugs to her and her brother that night.
