Exactly the kind of thing I was searching for but hadn’t managed to find from over 10 different articles. You’d think going through that many places, both national coverage, and local… that quote would be way more common. Especially with current police sentiment.
Some articles mentioned no one had been charged with any crimes… but none of them included anything directly refuting the shoplifting claim itself.
Just goes to show how massively important it is to find multiple sources. Even when you go out of your way to do so, you still only get whatever part of the picture they bothered to tell you. Did the reporter not even investigate enough to get that info even though it seems like the most obvious thing to check on first? Whether the initial shoplifting claim that started all of this was even valid? Did they have that info, but left it out on purpose?
