Here is a local news article that gives a completely different spin.
However, if you read carefully, no panic happened until the police showed up.

Thanks, I read the article and it does give a bit of a different take. We need to see what happens in court. That of course depends on whether the court that hears this has a truthful and duty bound justice.
