Oakland Tribune reporter Doug Oakley got a late-night visit from the Berkeley Police Department's public information officer demanding a retraction of a story filed at 11:00pm that evening. 

The police chief Michael Meehan dispatched the officer to address what he called a misquote of his cmments earlier that evening, apparently demanding that the reporter have the story corrected at a little before 1:00 in the morning.

The sleeping reporter and his wife were unsettled by the late night visit and Meehan, under attack for attempted censorship, intimidation and harassment has apologized and cited exhaustion as the reason for an error in judgment.
