Col. James Cockrell, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, said he has personally apologized to Colony High Principal Mary Fulp after troopers took her in for a mental health evaluation without her consent last Wednesday evening while the incident was livestreamed on her Facebook page. Cockrell said troopers believed there was a court order requiring them to do so, but the Alaska Court System has since confirmed that no such order was ever issued. [More]

Odd. I see no mention of felony forgery charges for the fake court order. And just who prepared an order that looked legit to cops who see a lot of orders? Felony conspiracy, too?
