 Toronto police allege that on Jan. 27 and 28, the pair "attempted to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice, by destroying or converting to their own use, evidence." 
 
 Police further accuse the officers of committing breach of trust on the same day. 
 
 Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Gray said the officers were arrested on Tuesday. 
 
 Gray declined to provide specific details about the case because it is before the courts, but said the allegations stem from the officers' participation in executing a search warrant at a local marijuana dispensary. 
 
 Officer called for backup, sources say 
 
 CBC Toronto reported earlier this year that the two officers who work at 13 Division were on duty not far from the station at Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road, in northwest Toronto, when they allegedly ingested pot edibles. 
 
 Police sources said the officers began to complain of "hallucinations" and one made a call for an officer needing assistance. Both officers were found in a police vehicle and later treated in hospital. 
 
 During the call, another officer responding to the scene slipped on ice and required medical attention. That officer suffered a head injury. 
 
 In the days before the incident, Toronto police carried out a raid at Community Cannabis Clinic. Sources told CBC Toronto the edibles the officers ingested are believed to have come from that dispensary. 
 
 Const. Vittorio Dominelli, 36, who has 13 years of service, and Const. Jamie Young, 35, who has 2½ years of service, have been charged. Both officers have been suspended with pay and are scheduled to appear in court on June 7. ||||| Two Toronto police officers have been suspended after allegedly consuming marijuana seized during a dispensary raid. 
 
 A Toronto Police Services spokesperson confirmed that two officers from the midtown 13 Division are being investigated by the force’s professional standards unit, but wouldn’t reveal further details. 
 
 However, a police source told Global News that the officers helped themselves to some of the bounty from a dispensary raid carried out over the weekend. It’s not known whether the pair were involved in the raid.

 The officers may have bitten off more than they could chew, however. One of them reportedly felt like he was going to pass out, and was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital, while another was said to be “conscious but nauseous,” the police call revealed. 
 
 An officer is also understood to have taken a fall after slipping on ice, although details are still hazy on whether that particular officer consumed any of the stash or was responding to the incident, which took place around 1 a.m. Sunday morning.

 Global News has learned that one of the officers under investigation is Const. Vittorio Dominelli. 
 
 In a case of possible self-fulfilling prophecy, Dominelli previously tweeted a selfie video of himself set to the tune of rapper Afroman’s 2001 stoner anthem “Because I Got High.” The ominous video was one of numerous to crop up on his social media repertoire. 
 
 The identity of Dominelli’s alleged partner-in-crime is unknown at this time.

 Two Toronto police officers who called for backup after allegedly consuming marijuana edibles in January now face criminal charges. 
 
 Const. Vittorio Dominelli, 36, a 13-year veteran of the police force, has been charged with attempting to obstruct justice and breach of trust. 
 
 Const. Jamie Young, 35, who has been on the force for two and a half years, has also been charged with attempting to obstruct justice and breach of trust. 
 
 In a news release issued Wednesday, Toronto police said the charges against the officers are related to alleged attempts to “pervert or defeat the course of justice, by destroying or converting to their own use, evidence.” 
 
 Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Grey told CTVNews.ca that the charges stem from a raid on a marijuana dispensary in the city. 
 
 Sources told CP24 in January that the two officers consumed marijuana edibles and then called for help. One officer reported that he felt like he was going to pass out and said his partner had left their vehicle. 
 
 Sources also told CP24 that one of the officers ended up in a tree. 
 
 The two officers had been suspended with pay during the investigation.
– Things have gone from bad to worse for two Toronto police officers accused of eating up evidence—marijuana edibles—while on duty in January. Officers Vittorio Dominelli, 36, and Jamie Young, 35, have been arrested for attempting to “obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice, by destroying or converting to their own use, evidence,” the Toronto police say in a news release. The charges stem from the officers' participation in a raid on a local marijuana dispensary, a police spokesperson says. The day of the incident started routinely enough, with the officers conducting surveillance, per FOX News. But while on duty, they allegedly ate marijuana edibles believed to have come from a dispensary police had raided in the preceding days, per CBC, and began hallucinating. One reportedly exited the police vehicle and climbed a tree, CTV News reports. He was unable to extricate himself from the tree and called for assistance. (You can hear their call for help, reported by Global News in January, here.) Making matters worse, a police officer who responded to their call for help slipped on the ice and suffered a serious head injury. Dominelli, who has been on the force for 13 years, and Young, who has been on the force for more than two years, have also been charged with breach of trust. They have been suspended with pay since the incident. (Read about another case of edible marijuana gone wrong here.)
