Cop Finds Hair in Food,Cook is arrested,Media silenced,copycats

http://www.courierpostonline.com

Cop Finds Hair in Food; Cook is Arrested, Fired; is charged with Aggravated Assault, Retaliation for a past Official action, food tampering and more. Bailed out for $25,000.
From the Village-Voice, the punchline: The owner, the local PD, and and town manager all asked the Courier-Post not to run the story -- not because it embarrasses them, mind you, but because it "may trigger copycat acts and generally contribute to the discomfort of our officers." (The cop's name has not been released.)
