Break-in at City Hall

Shortly after noon yesterday, the Register-Star reported that someone had broken into City Hall over the weekend and stolen "loose change and cash." By late afternoon, the rumor was spreading like wildfire that the culprit had been identified from surveillance camera tapes and had already been arrested and arraigned at the county courthouse. At 1:07 a.m. this morning, however, the Register-Star published a followup story which only explained how the burglar had gained entry to City Hall and indicated that the investigation continues: "City Hall break-in probe continues."
