Police were called to the Fitzroy library today in an incident involving SoFo author Sean Hegarty. Hegarty was apprehended while waving a mangled piece of digital wreckage around. He is believed to have been demanding more time on a library computer.

"I have a readership of dozens," he shouted, "and I can't let them down."

Hegarty claims he was never going to hurt staff. "I was hoping not to have to act on any threats," he said, "I have an Arts degree."

Two police officers arrived promptly at the scene, but rapidly lost interest.
