PALU: The chief editor of Palu's Info Baru daily was arrested
\nby Central Sulawesi Police on Sunday for allegedly trying to
\nsteal his newspaper's printing press.<\/p>\n
\"We have arrested Sahlan Lamporo because we believed he
\nintended to escape Palu on a Lion Air flight on Sunday morning,\"
\nfraud squad director Tatang Somantri said on Monday.<\/p>\n
He said Sahlan was reported for allegedly trying to steal the
\nnewspaper's printing press, owned by a Yanto Sugondo.<\/p>\n
Yanto said he had a written agreement with Sahlan that the
\nmachine would be operated by Info Baru management, who would
\nprovide him with regular reports about its use.<\/p>\n
But Yanto said he had received no reports.<\/p>\n
\"When I asked him about it, he (Sahlan) became upset. He even
\nthreatened me roughly and said that the machine belonged to his
\nbrother,\" said Yanto, who then reported Sahlan to police.<\/p>\n
Sahlan denied that he had tried to steal the machine but
\nadmitted he had failed to make the reports as agreed. -- JP<\/p>",
