rfmcdonaldCBC's Metro Morning reports on the many, many allegations by Rob Ford's former chief of staff, Mark Towhey, about the misbehaviours of Ford while in office.
The book is out.
Mark Towhey, Rob Ford's former chief of staff, told CBC News Thursday that working in mayor's officer was "a roller-coaster" and that he warned his colleagues not to ride in a car driven by Ford, because he didn't know when the now-former mayor had been drinking.
"My understanding is [Ford drinking and driving] happened more than once and was fairly well known among [senior police officers] at least," said Towhey in an interview on CBC's Metro Morning.
Towhey refused to name any senior police service members who said officers had driven Ford home instead of charging him with drinking and driving.
"These are completely unsubstantiated allegations and are by now, fourth-hand gossip," said police spokesman Mark Pugash on Wednesday when contacted by Metro Morning.
Towhey worked for the mayor during his election campaign and rose to chief-of-staff after Ford's election in 2010.
Towhey has written a tell-all book about his turbulent times working in the mayor's office. His 360-page account of the Ford mayoralty, Uncontrollable: How I Tried to Help the World's Most Notorious Mayor, is set for release on Oct. 27, and contains some startling revelations.
The book is out.
