The Toronto police officer implicated in the so-called Neptune Four case drove drunk behind the wheel of a Toronto police car while off duty earlier this year, the Star has learned — the second time he has been caught drinking and driving since becoming a police officer. “His judgment… put himself and others at risk and was to say the least questionable,” said hearing officer, Supt. The police disciplinary hearing in that case is ongoing but delayed, following a rare move by Lourenco last month to have the assigned hearing officer removed from the case. Alleging the hearing officer recently committed misconduct himself, Lourenco filed a motion to have Toronto police Insp. Richard Hegedus removed as hearing officer on the Neptune case, arguing there is a reasonable perception he may be biased.
