Jessie Manchester, Christopher Moreau and Harley Faires were all charged with burglary and criminal threatening.

The men were arrested but have since been released from jail.

Nice title. It is alleged the landlord was involved. What you know is that 3 people broke into a house and those 3 people were arrested. Should we arrest people without proof because you’re upset at the idea of landlords?

I think the title refers to the landlord not being arrested, not the bikers. Last line was that they didn’t know if the landlord was facing charges, which probably means he hadn’t been arrested yet.

Maine landlord solicited men who broke into apartment, threatened resident, deputies say

I don't claim to be a York County Deputy so I'm not here to make the accusation myself, but I do claim to be a guy who can read just below a headline and can see that according to the article, the York County Sheriff's department deputies did in fact make that accusation.

Investigators say they later learned the landlord of the building solicited the men following a landlord-tenant dispute.

It's only alleged because that's the journalistic convention to prevent a libel lawsuit from the landlord until a guilty verdict is handed down by a jury. That's just how articles always phrase it.

Bad take all around... At least read the article if you are going to make such claims

Bootlicker.
