TORONTO — An early-morning incident at Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's house has led to threatening death and drug charges for the former common-law husband of Ford's sister.
The man was arrested in Mississauga after cops were called to Ford's Toronto home Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.
Scott MacIntyre, 45, of no fixed address, is charged with forcible entry, two counts of threatening death, possession of heroin and possession of cocaine.
MacIntyre was Ford's sister Kathy's live-in boyfriend in 2005 when he was charged with weapons and drugs offences after she was accidentally shot at the Ford family home.
Wednesday's incident started when police received a call about a suspicious vehicle near Ford’s house.
They arrived at Ford's house after receiving a threatening death call at 8:36 a.m.
Ford told reporters outside his home that he couldn't get into much detail about what happened.
"I had an unwanted visitor this morning. I'm all right and the kids are all right," he said.
Ford said the incident happened "pretty quick."
Asked if the incident will prompt him to get a security detail, Ford shrugged.
"I can take care of myself," he said.
Ford's brother, Coun. Doug Ford, said he couldn't comment much more on the security breach due to the ongoing police investigation.
"The mayor is fine, his family is fine," Ford said. "There was a security breach; it is not the first time and
I'm sure it is not going to be the last time."
Asked if the matter related to the brothers' sister, Ford said he couldn't provide any further information.
The mayor's office released a statement stressing the mayor and his family were not harmed.
