The X-Project

Inez Temple was arrested this afternoon for a brawl in Jefferson's Diner. A trio of teenagers decided to start razzing them during lunch, and I guess one of them started broadcasting some story that Paul Richmond got to third base with Laurie behind the maintenance shed last year. That was enough to set Inez off, ripping their table off the damn bolts in the floor, and slamming it back down in front of them.

Which, predictably, touched off a panic, sending people running into the street claiming a mutant was tearing the place apart and trying to kill everyone. The Jefferson got trashed pretty good, and the cops were on-scene fast enough to nab Inez.

This is where it gets really bad. The Salem Centre PD has charged Inez with everything from attempted murder to the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. The only really valid charges are the ones from the owner of the diner and the teens, but even if just those stick, Inez is looking at time in juvi at the very least.

I'm going to put on the FBI badge and see how hard I can lean on the local police chief, see what I can do about this bullshit stack of charges. People are going to need to talk to these people and see if they can convince them to drop the charges somehow. Otherwise, Inez is going away for this.
