To the editor:

I am very concerned with the way you reported the name and full address of one of the persons arrested in Cape County Park over the past weekend. In light of the hate crime in Wyoming, was this good judgment on your part? I do commend you, however, for not using the story as headline news. This man has the love and support of our chancel choir and the congregation of our church. We will stand behind him and his family throughout this unfortunate ordeal. I pray that you will exercise better judgment with responsible reporting in the future.
