Besides that he's a former lumberjack, I'm sure the police arrested him because they feel he also had a motive.Pretty sure there is enormous pressure on the police to arrest someone for this crime. If there were actual physical evidence found implicating either the man or the 16yo I'm sure it would have been leaked by now. Based on American law enforcement they're grasping at straws and arresting anyone they can hoping the world will forget about this for a while.

The means, a motive, and he lives in the area. Makes him a good suspect.
Of course it doesn't make him guilty. It only makes him someone investigators want to investigate.It doesn't make him guilty though..........what evidence do they have?
I would trust an old logger far more than any police department under pressure to produce arrests.
You trust the cops WAY more than me.Of course it doesn't make him guilty. It only makes him someone investigators want to investigate.
That police department wants to find out who chopped down the tree. If they're under pressure it's because people are extremely upset and it's getting loads of attention. But I highly doubt the chief is telling them to close the case even if they have to pin it on an innocent person.
They're conducting an investigation, ffs. I hope they get results.

Where have you been the last 50 years? If you've been in the US you'd should have realized the "profession" of policing is corrupt protected by immunity, prosecutors, and their own. From the NYPD to Barney Fife in Mayberry, NC.I trust the police too. If I had no trust in the police than we'd be one step away from anarchy. If we don't trust them to uphold the law, we certainly can't trust individuals. Are there bad cops? Sure. Let's identify them, prosecute them, and replace them.
You honestly believe the Northumberland police department is trying to put one over on historical tree-lovers? This is the Hadrian Wall Tree Scandal? The UK Copper Caper?Where have you been the last 50 years?

Where are the answers from Uvalde, TX? 17 months later there are none, because the different police agencies are busy covering their asses and avoiding responsibility.
It's possible, where's the evidence, trial date, etc? IIRC arrests follow an investigation, they don't precede it.You honestly believe the Northumberland police department is trying to put one over on historical tree-lovers? This is the Hadrian Wall Tree Scandal? The UK Copper Caper?
You've seen the movie Fuzz, haven't you? That wasn't a documentary.
Maybe in Northumberland they do. Maybe there's evidence you're not aware of. Maybe that guy got so pissed, he chopped down that tree. Maybe the police are making a horrible mistake.It's possible, where's the evidence, trial date, etc? IIRC arrests follow an investigation, they don't precede it.

^^^Whataboutism at it's finest.
Try to stay on point, ATG. @VaughanJB 's point was that, just as within corporations, state and local police departments address and resolve systemic problems whenever and wherever they are discovered.^^^Whataboutism at it's finest.
That says it all - it hasn't effected me - so the status quo is just fine.I have zero problems with the police.

NYPD has been throughly corrupt for 50+ years, when's that going to change?
I'm having a really hard time understanding what that has to do with a tree in Nottingham Forest.That says it all - it hasn't effected me - so the status quo is just fine.

Here's one NYPD - concealed carry permits sold at auction:That's not what I said. I said issues should be addressed. On the other hand, I don't commit crime, so have managed to avoid interaction with the police. Sue me.
Talk to me about a personal issue you've had.
What was the probable cause? Please enlighten us.I'm having a really hard time understanding what that has to do with a tree in Nottingham Forest.
I mean, I do understand you don't trust cops; that's clear; but this is about an arrest based on probable cause and circumstantial evidence (which is evidence) because a beloved tree got chopped down in the vicinity of a disgruntled lumberjack.
The guy was given reasonable bail, he's home in his caravan, and he has a right to due process. Where does the corruption come into play?
Read the articles.What was the probable cause? Please enlighten us.
