- “A Pontiac boy who was arrested twice last year for vehicle thefts was arrested a third time over the weekend connected to a string of thefts in Pontiac and Waterford Township. Details at the link in the comments.” names a checkable occurrence — actor and action that can be verified on the record. The desk is grading that documented event, not every surrounding take.
