Amish Man Arrested for Defamation

*Anonymous source reporting...

Two days after the Young Crows swept the Fightling Amish a man in his mid 40’s, in an attempt to make Crow’s long time outfielder Bernie Knox look bad hacked his way into the Crow Website and issued a statement. Defamy is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image.

In a four paragraph letter, Jeb Jacob, long time Fighting Amish Fan made slanderous comments about the Crows Organization as if the message came from Bernie himself. The letter claimed Bernie had been mis-treated by the Crows front office and because of this he had decided to retire from the game and organization that has helped him acheice great status in the nations favorite past time.

The Crow’s Executive Committee felt obligated to release a statement in defense of the organization, claiming they have been nothing but fair in their dealings with long time player Bernie Knox. The tip that this was not from Bernie himself was the signing of the letter, #26, nothing more than Bernie’s number from the back of his jersey.

We at KARE11 have tried to contact Bernie several times throughout the day through his agent but have been unable to reach him for a statement. In a press release earlier this afternoon Knox’s agent simply said, “Bernie is aware of the issue and is happy the individual responsible is being detained and hopefully charged. When asked what his position is with the Crow’s, Knox’s agent simply shrugged and said, “ The same it has always been, Once a Crow always a Crow”. When asked if there were any truth to the rumors of Bernie retiring from the Crow’s, Knox’s agent stated, There is no truth to this outlandish rumor, Bernie has been working hard to get his personal life on track in order to return to the ball club on July 1, 2009. Bernie has nothing but the utmost respect for every individual within this organization and would never do anything to jeopordize that relationsihp. When asked if Bernie was upset with what has transpired, the answer was clear, “Bernie is grateful for the opportunities this club has given him and he is outraged that this type of story could hit the airwaves and cause any harm or distruption to the Crow’s Ball Club.”
