officer injured during burglary at flora post office

I'm sure the suspects may have been 'up to no good', but when is hiding in the bushes considered burglary? There is no other mention to burglary mentioned in that story besides "Flora Police Department received a report of a possible burglary in progress", which means someone may have just drove by, and noticed them in the bushes, and assumed they were trying to break into the post office.

I think until more information comes out, I would report it as "Man Charged with Aggravated Battery and Obstructing/Resisting a Peace Officer." and then go on about his whereabouts, and suspicions.. too many news stories are sensationalistic, rather than fact reporting.

While I happily accept people disagreeing with me, I have to wonder, why not tell me why you disagree?

I can be as clueless as the "news article" allows me to be, if it was a Burglary would the compliant person be able to leave, without any charges?

From WNOI's article:
"Murray was later charged with Aggravated Battery and Obstructing/Resisting a Peace Officer. His custody was transferred to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, pending initial court appearance in Clay County Circuit Court. Roth was released without being charged."

I agree. The headline on this (topix) page says, "officer injured during burglary at flora post office." How do we know what those guys were doing or why the guy fled? The police chief's report certainly doesn't confirm that a burglary was taking place. It says some unknown person saw something, suspected burglary, and called the police. The guy who cooperated might be guilty of little more than smoking pot, or of nothing at all. The bushes separate a post office and a bar, so it could very well be that they stepped outside the bar to talk. The guy who fled might have had some outstanding warrants, unbeknownst to the guy who cooperated, or he could have been drunk while on parole. I'm sure he was hiding something, but that could be any number of things, and his friend may not have known about it. The police chief's report doesn't come to any conclusion about why they were out there or why the one guy fled, so the headline is misleading by saying, "officer injured during burglary at flora post office."
