""You know something, I would go to the Sault Ste. Marie police. I was informed literally in the parking lot as we were going through here," Ford told reporters. "Yeah, go to the Sault Ste. Marie police. I don't want to interfere in a police investigation.""
"Sault police put out a release, saying that following an investigation by its own detectives, Toronto Police arrested Scott on Sunday, but didn't detail what charges he is facing."
"Scott was first elected in the provincial election this February, defeating New Democrat candidate Lisa Vezeau-Allen by just 118 votes. The 35-year-old is not originally from Sault Ste. Marie, but worked in Premier Doug Ford's office as special advisor to the chief of staff and also worked in the office of former Sault Conservative MPP Ross Romano when he was an Ontario cabinet minister."
The Office of the Premier of Ontario announced that Sault Ste. Marie MPP Chris Scott is no longer a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus, with no reason provided. Premier Doug Ford directed reporters to contact Sault Ste. Marie police and said he did not want to interfere in a police investigation. Sault police stated that Toronto Police arrested Scott following an investigation by their detectives, without specifying charges. Scott won his seat in February by 118 votes, is 35 years old, and previously worked in Doug Ford's office and for former MPP Ross Romano.
