- The SF District Attorney's Office confirmed Thursday that no charges are being filed in the "robbery" case against Mohammed Nuru. "Mr. Nuru was in the kitchen of a food bank where he was volunteering when he held up a kitchen knife and appeared to have joked about taking someone’s potato chips," the DA's Office said in a statement. "An independent witness corroborated that this appeared to have been said in jest. There was no evidence that he actually tried to take the potato chips; this appears to have been an inappropriate and misguided attempt at humor." [CBS SF]
