"The court document also provides more detail on the three firearms-related charges Barnhardt faces, which are all related to his police-issued gun. According to the document, Barnhardt kept his police-issued Glock 9-mm pistol at a place where he was not authorized to do so, stored the weapon in his vehicle in a careless manner and possessed the pistol for a purpose dangerous to the public peace."
"York police Deputy Chief Ryan Hogan has called Barnhardt the genesis of the investigation. Police allege Barnhardt released confidential information to criminals, which helped facilitate targeted shootings. He was denied bail in a Toronto courtroom last Friday but was granted protective custody. Court documents suggest he has nearly 20 years of experience with Toronto police. Seven active Toronto police officers and one retired officer have been arrested in connection to a major corruption probe by police in York Region."
