“Arrest made in Quran burning in East Lansing”

Posted: 09/17/2010

EAST LANSING, Mich. (WXYZ) -

SNIPPET: “Police say the suspect surrendered voluntarily on Wednesday after he saw a $10,000 reward issued for his capture.

He is reportedly cooperating with police and the FBI and is under investigation for a possible hate crime.

It will be up to prosecutors to decide if any charges should be filed.”

So it's against the law in Michigan to burn a koran? What about a bible or a torah?

“Police identify suspect in Quran burning in East Lansing”
By TODD A. HEYWOOD 9/17/10 7:45 AM

SNIPPET:”... the man turned himself into authorities, reports the Lansing State Journal. The man lives in the Lansing area.

The individual recounted specific information about the incident which police had kept under wraps, and the man continues to cooperate with police, an ELPD spokesperson says. The person is not in custody and police expect to turn over their reports to Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III early next week.

Dunnings will determine if a crime was committed and whether or not enough evidence exists to prosecute that crime.”

SNIPPET: “The Council for American Islamic Relations has called the incident a hate crime.”
