Fwd.ed, In Progress - Mayorial Playings of The Copy-Cat Game...

The mayor of the Montreal suburb of L'Assomption - Jean-Claude Gingras, was arrested over the weekend on suspicions of drunk driving and refusing a breathalyzer test.

Gingras denied being intoxicated at the time of the arrest, telling QMI Agency "1'm nothing like Rob Ford. I'm not on crack, I'm not on a binge." He then alleged there was a police conspiracy against him — which is right out of Rob Ford's personal playbook.

Toronto mayor has previously refused a breathalyzer. Ford was pulled over while driving in Florida in 1999 and refused a breathalyzer. He was forced to pay a fine and perform community service.

Last year, the mayor of Hampton, Florida, was arrested and charged with selling oxycodone, raising local comparisons to Toronto's notorious leader.

"This isn't Toronto. We will not tolerate illegal drug activity, in my jurisdiction, by anyone, to include our elected officials," Polk County Sheriff Gordon Smith said in a news release at the time.

Mayor Rob Ford has more recently confessed to smoking crack in a "drunken stupor" and buying illegal drugs.

Last week, a video showing Ford drunk and slurring at a Rexdale restaurant prompted questions about how the mayor got home afterwards . - End.
