Two Toronto police officers investigated for allegedly roughing up Adam Nobody during last June’s G20 summit are at the centre of a brutality accusation in a separate case.What’s more, the Special Investigation Unit’s file on the pair, Detective Constable Todd Storey and Detective Constable Luke Watson, may be released in court.
Mr. Nobody was taken to the ground and arrested by several officers at Queen’s Park on the afternoon of June 26. The SIU, the arm’s-length body that investigates – among other things – incidents of violent interaction with police, charged a uniformed officer allegedly involved with assault after witnesses produced videos of the incident.
The 27-year-old alleged he was also beaten a second time by two plainclothes officers, Det. Constables Storey and Watson, behind a police van away from public view. The SIU investigated both men in that incident, but ruled there was no evidence to corroborate Mr. Nobody’s contention and that his injuries – a broken nose and shattered cheekbone – had more likely been caused during his initial arrest.
