Bryant was formerly the Governor General of Ontario. Apparently he is being held in connection with the death of a cyclist. Here is an excerpt from one of the articles:
Witnesses said the cyclist hung onto the driver's side of the car, which had its convertible top down, while the driver allegedly yelled at him to get off.
The vehicle was driving on the wrong side of the road and drove up on to a curb trying to knock the cyclist off for about 100 metres, witnesses said.
"Lots of people were watching and they couldn't believe what was happening," said Ryan Brazeau, a worker with a crew laying sewer pipes on Bloor.
The vehicle veered onto the eastbound lanes and mounted the curb, brushing against trees and poles. The victim was apparently run over by the rear wheels of the vehicle, witnesses said.
He was taken to St. Michael's Hospital with serious head injuries and died around midnight.
Burrows said a large portion of the incident was captured on surveillance video and that investigators are working to fill in the gaps.
"• 9:25 a.m.: Police source tells The Globe and Mail's Timothy Appleby that Mr. Bryant will face charges of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death. Those charges will keep the file in the hands of Traffic Services."
Got home from work tonight and found an e-mail from hockref with a link to the article about it. Subject line of the e-mail: People In Toronto Are Fucked Up!
From what I read briefly today, I don't think Bryant did anything I wouldn't do. The victim was pulled over by the cops an hr before for intoxication. If a drunk is hanging on to my car, fearing my safety I'm going to do anything possible to shake him off as well. Didn't read the full articles in depth though.

Ok, I must have totally misread the article. I thought Bryant was the one pulled over for intoxication an hour earlier...
press will twist this incident around so hard to really know what happened; if he mounted the curb trying to shake this guy off, that's pretty messed up. At least he didn't leave the scene which may be his saving grace. I think he actually called the police to the scene.

you're right....he did mount the curb. and he DID leave the scene. he called the cops from a hotel....after speaking with his lawyer. I don't know about some of the posts here..... Being drunk doesn't usually warrant a death sentence.

Where did you see that he called the police from the hotel, AFTER speaking to his lawyer? The reports I see have him calling the police from inside his car... However this is one of those where we may never really know the whole truth...
