Everybody just needs to calm down on the rumor mill about this story. I’ve heard way too many rumors and from what I can tell, most of them aren’t true. Local talk radio was pretty egregious yesterday. The SJ-R publishes the same admonition today:

Aside from six people charged last year, no one has been arrested or indicted in connection with the wider probe. There is no indication whether those being questioned are suspected of using or dealing in cocaine or whether they’re merely being asked about the activities of others.

Rumors about people said to be involved ran rampant in legal and political circles Thursday. However, many of the names being bandied about apparently are incorrect.

I just wanted to warn you that all comments related to this subject will be deleted. Please, don’t even try. Let this take its course. We’ll all know soon enough.

In the meantime, relax and take a deep breath… but not through your nose.
