Hoaxer's Phone Linked To Sect Abuse Calls

"Nevertheless, she added, the criminal investigation continues and still could result in arrests -((even if the original reason turns out to be faulty. The arrest warrant remains active,)) she said, and prosecutors have not decided whether they will file a motion to withdraw or dismiss it.

"Probable cause is just that," Palmer said. "You're not dealing with certainties. You're dealing with probabilities."
