Officer Probed After Fake News Release

An internal probe is underway after a bizarre weekend incident that saw a bogus news release issued by city police entitled "Fresh Breath Killer Captured".   Deputy Police Chief Andy Hay says the release was connected with an ongoing murder investigation and was quickly retracted.  He calls it unfortunate,  saying it overshadows the hard work and professionalism of the officers who are involved in the murder investigation.    Hay couldn't say why the release may have been sent saying it will be one of the questions police ask of the officer involved.
