Columnist arrested
A Sacramento Bee columnist who frequently mentions police officers in his columns was arrested today on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence. The accuser has already recanted.R.E. Graswich is a likeable guy who was both funny and interesting when he spoke to a column writing class I took a few years ago. I do wonder, though, if the woman recanted because he has an insane number of connections and works for the Bee. The wounds don't sound serious, and I wonder if I'd do the same thing, knowing that such an arrest could become a story of national interest.
Actually, if the claim was legitimate, I wouldn't recant. I'm not that type of a person. If the claim was not legitimate -- no, I'm also not the type to make a bogus claim.
