A man who was arrested on suspicion of stealing sausage rolls was found dead after police mistakenly said he was a paedophile. Brian Temple, 34, had been detained over allegedly taking the pastries from Greggs.
However release papers were incorrectly completed by police. And instead of giving his alleged crime as the theft of the pack of sausage rolls they wrongly said he had been in custody for inciting sexual relations with a 13-year-old girl.
This was incorrect with it later being blamed on "human error". Tragically Mr Temple had not realised the mistake and handed the papers to his girlfriend who then began to tell people of the wrong allegations, reports Teesside Live.
