TORONTO -- A Hamilton police officer who was arrested in a gang raid last week has been denied bail.
Const. Craig Ruthowsky's lawyer Bernard Cummins says they will appeal the judge's bail decision that came down Tuesday in a Toronto courthouse.
Toronto police charged Ruthowsky and 44 others last week in a raid that they say took down the violent Monstarz gang that ran drugs and guns.
Cummins says Ruthowsky will plead not guilty to the charges.
Ruthowsky faces five charges -- three criminal organization-related offences, breach of trust and conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
