A former police officer who donned blackface for Halloween as was led around on a rope by a friend dressed as a Klansman says it was a stupid mistake.

Terry Nunn says he is in "no way, shape or form” a racist and neither is his friend Blair Crowley.

The two won first prize at the Royal Canadian Legion Halloween party in Campbellford, Ont., Saturday night for their outfits. 



Mr. Nunn tells Toronto radio station AM640 that he doesn't believe in the Ku Klux Klan and he's surprised someone complained to police.
The former Toronto police officer says people from work are asking him what he was thinking.
Nunn says he's embarrassed and may have to move out of the town if the controversy grows.
The incident prompted Royal Canadian Legion officials to close the Campbellford branch indefinitely.
