Northern BC: Neighbours looked on while RCMP arrested a blogger only identified by the name Gwen this morning in a small Northern BC community. Details are unclear as yet, but RCMP Sergeant Claude Pelletier issued a brief statement regarding the arrest. “Ms. Gwen had clearly stated her intention to post daily updates on her blog,” Sgt. Pelletier said, “but we have reason to believe that she did not do so.” Sgt. Pelletier called the situation “disturbing,” but he refused to comment on why police involvement did not occur sooner.
As she was dragged, resisting, to a waiting police truck, Gwen was heard by several onlookers to scream out, “I couldn’t help it! I couldn’t get to a computer!” The alleged criminal was also heard to shout “NaBloPoMo! It’s killing me!” but the meaning of these words is unclear.
“I always knew there was something wrong with her,” said an unidentified source. “She seemed normal on the outside, but there was always something sinister lurking underneath. I can’t really explain it, but I know I’ll be sleeping better tonight knowing she’s put away.”
An investigation is pending.
