Just yesterday, a Bob Evans employee accused of lewd conduct with a minor... before reading the story are we to think this happened at the restaurant? I've seen bars, restaurants, landscapers, etc. all have their name published because of an ill deed by a current or former employee. I think it's incredibly unfair to the businesses who have made a home here. I'll add though, if the bad guys were teachers, police, elected officials, etc. then it would be necessary to know who they're involved with professionally.

That's something that also doesn't sit well with me. Often the business name is featured prominently in the headline and the arrest has absolutely nothing to do with the employer. You'd think a practice like that would hurt their advertising program.
Now it's much different in the case of the Athens waiter or the Arby's employee a while back stealing money from the business. Those are directly related.
