source:Toronto Sun
A Durham Regional Police officer is accused of assaulting two teenaged boys while off duty on Super Bowl Sunday, police announced Wednesday.
The 41-year-old officer was outside the AMC complex on Consumers Dr. in Whitby when he got in an argument with two 16-year-old boys who were waiting for rides home after leaving a Super Bowl party at a nearby restaurant, a Durham Regional Police press release said.
"He (the officer) allegedly punched one 16-year-old male and grabbed another 16-year-old male during the incident," the press release said. "There were no serious injuries."
Basil Odei, a 15-year Durham Regional Police veteran, was arrested Tuesday night by officers from the Professional Standards Unit. He was charged with two counts of assault and released from custody on a promise to appear in court, police said.
Odei, who was working out of the Centralized Alternative Response Unit in Whitby, was suspended from his duties pending the outcome of his court case, police said.

A worthy mention from Florida
Florida police officer Paul C. Lawrence, 38, allegedly was so good in combating traffic violations that he did not wait for them to occur before ticketing citizens. Lawrence has been charged with giving tickets to people who were not even in the state, let alone on the highway.
Prosecutors believe that Lawrence was trying to fulfill his quota of tickets — a ridiculous practice among police departments that forces officers to write tickets to bring in revenue.
Authorities believe that Lawrence used information from prior traffic stops to write the tickets.
In November alone, Lawrence wrote 397 tickets with 82 missing a signature and 203 of them were later dismissed. One man was in Peru at the time that Lawrence said he was speeding down a Florida highway.
He is facing 22 counts of official misconduct, a third-degree felony

CORNWALL - The OPP have charged a city police detective with impaired driving.
Provincial officers were responding to a call on Feb. 1 around 6 p.m. in South Stormont when a man got out of a car on the side of County Road 15.
He flagged down the officers.
The officers pulled over to investigate and found the woman driving was operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
OPP Const. Pete Robertson said the officers had been dispatched to deal with a call involving the vehicle the woman was driving, but he couldn't elaborate on the nature of the call because of the ongoing investigation.
Emma Wilson-King, 45, of South Stormont was charged with impaired driving and exceeding 80 milligrams blood alcohol content per 100 millilitres.
Wilson-King is a detective constable with the Cornwall Community Police Service.
According to Staff Sgt. Garry Derochie of the police service's professional standards bureau, Wilson-King is currently "on personal leave."
Until the charges against the detective are dealt with in the courts, Wilson-King will be assigned to a desk job to perform administrative duties when she returns to work.
In the meantime, Derochie said Chief of Police Dan Parkinson will file an automatic "chief's complaint" under the Police Services Act against Wilson-King.
If convicted of impaired driving, the officer could be subject to a Police Services Act hearing for serious misconduct.
Wilson-King is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

A Superior Court judge has approved a class-action lawsuit against the OPP over the 2006 native occupation of the former Douglas Creek Estates in Caledonia.
The lawsuit, involving four businesses and 14 Caledonia residents, names former OPP commissioner Gwen Boniface, the former Haldimand OPP detachment commander and the Ontario government.
In a decision released Monday, Judge David Crane agreed the lawsuit reasonably met the requirements of identifiable classes with common claims
Read the decision
The class-action lawsuit focuses on the closure of Argyle Street, closure of Highway 6 and the OPP’s alleged failure to enforce court injunctions.
The suit alleges the OPP and province broke laws allowing these things to happen. The allegations have yet to be proven in court.
