CLAREMONT, Calif. - A professor who police believe staged a hate crime to rile the campus where she taught had a criminal record that included charges of shoplifting and driving without a license.
>>>Snip<<<
The Times reported that on Sept. 24, 1999, Dunn was arrested in Nebraska and charged for driving without a license and with having fictitious license plates on her car. Dun paid $75 in fines, according to prosecutor John McQuinn.
On Dec. 31, 1999, police in Lincoln arrested her for shoplifting after she had stuffed a pink sweater in her purse while in the dressing room of a clothing store, the newspaper reported. Charges against her were dismissed after she paid court costs, McQuinn said.

This professor probably ain't signing-up to be a FReeper in the near future, but Holy Cow...she deserves to be regarded as innocent unless proven guilty. If her attorney is decent, he would win this case any day of the week if it ever went to court.
When it is a story like this, I'm not inclined to believe the newspapers because they'll even turn on their own if they think they can sell a few more copies that day. I would hate for one of us to innocently suffer at the hands of the sleazy scumbags in the media.
