When police returned Reggie Williams’ wallet, an officer told him: Don’t do anything bad and keep your ID on you.

Sandwich guy was asked when he could give an interview about his ordeal.
He answered, "Lettuce meat tomato."
Asked what his initial reaction was, he said: I was bread for this moment. These were cheesy charges, and I'm just glad to be out of this pickel."
Then reporters threw sandwiches at him.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
