No harm, no foul

What's unusual about this story?

Fort Wayne Police have cleared the driver of a white Cadillac Escalade of any suspicion in the Tuesday morning robbery and assault of a manager at Family Dollar, 5307 Decatur Road.

No one was more cooperative than Randolph Jackson, who was behind the wheel of the Escalade and whose image was caught by surveillance cameras and broadcast on television news programs this week.

Friday morning, Jackson said he holds no hard feelings about the confusion. But he's eager to get the word out that he's not the one police are looking for.

The police make an honest mistake, then quickly work to make it right. Nobody is bitter or claiming victimhood or threatening a lawsuit. Did I say unusual? It's downright rare.
