I don't follow Jose Canseco but I am used to his craziness popping up in my timeline. This seems to be beyond his usual level of crazy.

Jose Canseco is a 'person of interest' in an alleged sexual assault. He has agreed to an interview, which has not taken place yet.
— Jackie Valley (@JackieValley) May 22, 2013
@Uwaine Maybe. We're not even directly mentioning his Twitter account because of all the possible victim info.
— Jackie Valley (@JackieValley) May 22, 2013
Police source reached by phone called Jose Canseco a 'person of interest.' @LVMPD press release called him a 'suspect.' No charges filed.
— Jackie Valley (@JackieValley) May 22, 2013
@blasky Very true. Plus, the line between person of interest and suspect is always so gray anyway.
