kallistiifrom the BoingBoing.net story .
Salim sez, "William Poole, an 18-year-old Kentucky high-school student wrote a story about a high-school over-ran by a plague of zombies. Not exactly the most original scenario, but just the sort of thing for a young writer to cut his teeth on. Unfortunately the kid's grandparents found the manuscript and assumed the very worst. The high-schooler was arrested on Tuesday morning and is currently being held at the Clark County Detention Center. The local police seem to be treating this work of fiction as if it were some kind of terrorist threat."

Read Walter Stewart's But Not in Canada! for similar examples, such as the teenager in Winnipeg (in 1964) whose parents were rebuked when he claimed Santa Claus was "a commie." The parents were told to curb his "dangerous beliefs".

I have no idea WHY it's taken all these years to suddenly crop-up. Or, maybe it has appeared over the years and I've just forgotten any posts about it.
