Hannah, Is there a rule of thumb you use to decide when to include the arrested person's name in an article? I ask because the name and photo of the arrested priest was listed, but no name was included in this article. I don't think that either approach is wrong. I'm just curious about the decision.

Thanks for the question Chris. It kind of depends on each editor, but some of us Patch editors around here generally try not to list a person's name unless it's a felony or some kind of public figure (like the priest). But there is always an exception to the "rule," so it kind of depends on each case. I hope that answers your question!
