He made his first appearance Wednesday at a Police Act hearing at Hamilton police headquarters wearing a green shirt and tie. A video from the scene shows Todoruck pinning Cohn to the ground and cuffing him with zip ties, then pulling him to a police vehicle. Ritchie reportedly said that when he arrived at the scene, Todoruck called the media "scumbags," leading to an argument that ended with the freelancer being tackled and arrested. The journalist was originally charged with resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer. Cohn was released without charges and is suing Hamilton police for nearly $1 million.
