Dentist's protest stirs a tempest in a teapot

MANCHESTER – All Michael Yannetti wanted to do Monday was to protest the notion of Washington bailouts and $3.6 trillion in federal spending. So he did what thousands did across the country this week: mailed tea to their congressional representatives in protest.
Yesterday, police showed up at his door.
The green tea he had mailed to the Manchester office of Rep. Carol Shea-Porter prompted the evacuation of her office yesterday. Police and firefighters were at the downtown location for about 1 1/2 hours, securing the scene and conducting field tests for possible hazardous substances or volatile compounds.
"Really, I didn't think it was a big deal," said Yannetti, a dentist who lives in Pelham. "As far as I know, this was a mainstream thing."
Fox News has reported about the tea protests for weeks, he said. And Yannetti received an e-mail that designated Wednesday as the day to send tea to your congressman, he said. He put the tea in an envelope with his name and return address and wrote "tea protest" on the outside, he said.
After the letter arrived at Democrat Shea-Porter's office at 33 Lowell St., Capitol Police in Washington told the staff to call city police and firefighters.

Manchester Fire Lt. Paul Smith said emergency responders quickly identified the substance as tea or tobacco. But they tested the material to be sure.
Meaning is was not in a tea bag. We government types really love it when people send us things besides paper in envelopes.

I'm not getting into this one. I just googled the guys name. I noticed that they are all of the same article. Is the Union Leader the only one to pick this up?

How do you know?
An arrest is ANY detention in which the person is not free to go...regardless of whether they are handcuffed, taken to jail, or charges preferred at that time. By definition, if a L.E. contacts a citizen to question them, orders them where to sit/stand, and that they have to comply...even if solely for the duration of their "investigation" (questioning), then that person is "under arrest".
Are you saying you have specific knowledge that when the police contacted the dentist, he was free to leave at any time?
Please, do share...

Please show us where he was even DETAINED.
The article only mentions he was VISITED by police. NOTHING ELSE.

Minimally, it was an investigative detention for the purpose of questioning (contacted and questioned)...
Meanwhile, Manchester police asked Pelham police to visit Yannetti, who identified the substance as green tea, said Manchester police Sgt. Todd Boucher. Yannetti said he sent similar letters to the three other members of New Hampshire's congressional delegation.

So that is not ARRESTED. They questioned him.
You do remember the FIVE people killed by ANTRAX, do you not? The tea was loose. The LE was merely doing their job.
