Perhaps it's a misunderstanding of Australian police investigations, but I wouldn't expect them to arrest a witness. If Grubb was really arrested, that suggests (to this American who doesn't know anything about Aussie police) that someone accused him of a crime. Facebook has a motive; they want journalists to think twice before reporting on Facebook privacy flaws. Nobody else seems to have a motive. Not that there's any point in jumping to conclusions at this point -- surely there will be more information available soon.

The police say he wasn't arrested. He claimed in a tweet that he was, but I kinda doubt it -- for starters he wasn't arrested for anything, and secondly if you are under arrest are you allowed to keep your phone and tweet all about it? So, was he being over-dramatic, or did he genuinely believe he's under arrest? (Oh, and a handy hint: if the police ever ask you to go with them then make sure you ask 'em whether you're under arrest or not.)
