On bail: Alexander Lisi, friend and occasional driver of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, leaves Old City Hall court in Toronto after being granted bail on drug charges

Out on bail: Alexander Lisi, has been charged with trafficking and possession of marijuana, according to Toronto policeIn the past, Ford has said that Lisi is ‘straight as an arrow.’

In a statement, Toronto police said they made the arrests when executing a search warrant in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation.
Lisi is described in reports as a member of Ford’s entourage, but does not serve an official role in the mayor’s office.
He has been charged with trafficking and possession marijuana and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
Yesterday, Mayor Ford held a brief news conference at a gas station near his home telling reporters that he considers Lisi ‘a friend.’

‘He’s a friend, he’s a good guy and I don’t throw my friends under the bus,’ Mr Ford said. ‘I’ve never once seen the guy drink, never once seen him do drugs.’
Ford said he was ‘very surprised’ by the charges, but said he could not say much else because the matter ‘is before the courts.’
Lisi was released on $5,000 bail along with Jamshid Bahrami, who is reportedly the owner of the dry cleaners.
Bahrami is charged with three offenses, including possession of cocaine.
Both men are scheduled to appear in court on November 12th.

Conspiracy charge against Lisi is related to a home invasion at the Etobicoke bungalow of Ford’s former classmate, Fabio Basso, where the alleged crack video in question may have been filmed

Ford was consumed by a sea of media speculation in May of this year after rumors of the video surfaced, but he adamantly claimed that it didn’t exist.
A still image – allegedly taken from the video – purportedly shows Ford with three men.

Some critics called on Ford to step down, but he has vowed to seek re-election next year.
The mayor has been embroiled in almost weekly controversies about his behavior since being elected in 2010.
The Toronto Star reported earlier this year that the mayor was asked to leave a gala fundraiser for wounded Canadian soldiers because he appeared intoxicated.
During his campaign for mayor, Rob Ford vehemently denied a 1999 arrest for marijuana possession in Florida, but later acknowledged it was true after he was presented with evidence.
He pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and failing to give a breath sample to police.
While in office, he has been accused of flouting conflict of interest rules and making obscene gestures at residents from his car.

Ford was arrested on charges of drunk driving and marijuana possession in Florida in 1999, and the Toronto Star has previously reported about the “open secret at city hall that the mayor has battled alcohol abuse.”
