As a matter of fact, the person in this picture is innocent, the person who accused her in Shopko, has NO proof …and didn’t follow procedure like your article says it should be done. I suggest you go back and do your research and take this down both the Facebook pages and your website.
It is such a shame that actual NEWS, like the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear issues in Japan take literally less space in your newspaper than this story.
I am extremely disgusted at the handling of this piece, by your reporter Justine Wettschreck, by the Shopko personnel and even the Police Department.
The Shopko clerk did NOT keep the bill, like she should have, and therefore has NO proof of whether the bill was actually counterfeit. The accused person has a very good moral character, works in retail (which could explain how she could potentially have a counterfeit check that to her,didn’t seem fake-there’s no proof of it either way) and has been subject of numerous speculations. She deserves an apology.
As soon as this link went live, last night, people close to her told her to let her know. She immediatly called the Police Department to identify herself, and nothing was resolved either last night or this morning until the person in charge of the case was available. Makes me wonder if it was such an important person of interest, to the point of nearly slandering her, why didn’t police take action against her as soon as she made herself known to them? They waited over 12 hours to interview her!!! Guess she must not be that dangerous!
I’m sure neither of you would like your picture and moral be put under scrutiny, specially when the “alleged” crime can’t even be proved. So, once again, please double check your facts, and just like you just ruined her reputation, you should clarify what really happened and clean her name.

I’ll have to agree with aarr on this one. Both the police and the Globe bungled this.
If she is not charged then I’d say she deservers an apology from both. I would like to tell aarr that the old saying of ‘innocent till proven guilty’ isn’t all that true. It falls right in there with ‘jobs Americans won’t do’ and ‘this country was built by immigrants’. Believe this, if you are charged with a crime, you better be able to prove you didn’t do it or you will be going to jail! Sad but true!

Everyone knows it is the judicial system that should decide whether a person is innocent or guilty based on a preponderance of evidence. Not the investigators or arresting officer. Not the news media. And not a bunch of citizens who immediately jump to a conclusion on guilt or innocence based on a person’s appearance, color of skin, last name, past criminal history – nor whom they might hang out with (guilt by association). Some will always complain violently about the $$$ that is spent to provide legal services to those who can’t afford it. But the fact is — were you, or someone you care about, detained and couldn’t afford counsel, you’d want the best defense available on your side. Or you’ll go to jail! A sad day for you.
As for “immigrants ” not building this country… just who did? It appears we do not give the Native Americans nearly enough credit for all the fabulous things they accomplished for the “rest of us”, giving us this amazing quality of life in the US.

Mainly descendants of immigrants. That is nothing special; most all countries were built that way at some time or another! Myself, my parents and their parents were not immigrants, they were born here! Hope that sheds some light!

Unless you’re a Native American, SOMEBODY in your ancestry had to have immigrated here, looking for a better life. You are the product of immigration. And give the “original” immigrants (not just their descendants) lots of credit for what they accomplished, in many cases facing incredible hardships. What they achieved has made your life a whole lot easier.

Uh, guess what even so called “native Americans” had ancestors who immigrated here.It’s true it was a few thousand years ago but absolutely NO ONE evolved here. Everyone immigrated from somewhere else including so called “native Americans”.

I suppose it could be said that everyone is a product of immigration, either from the Garden of Eden or outer space, somewhere. I’d prefer to stay in the present. My earlier examples ‘innocent till proven guilty’ ‘jobs Americans won’t do’ and ‘this country was built by immigrants’ were merely to point out the hype, the spin, that is at best Half Truths!
