TORONTO — A Toronto police officer is testifying about the day he helped arrest Rob Ford's driver.

The officer says Alexander (Sandro) Lisi had $900 in police drug-buy money on him that day in October 2013.

Police also seized a fake pop can with a small amount of marijuana from Lisi.

The arrest occurred outside a west-end dry cleaners after months of surveillance of Lisi and Ford.

Officers also arrested the owner of the dry cleaners, Jamshid Bahrami.

Both are charged with drug-trafficking offences.
