    This is the most confusing thing just reading the headline and source. A man from MI, arrested in MA, reported by a website in MO.

      It doesn’t say AP but must have come over a wire service of some sort because there is no way that a reporter in MO did the research on this. This is surely an article that was written by one organization and republished by another.
