AI Hallucination in Police Report Leads to Fan Ban and Public Apology

The event clearly involves an AI system (Microsoft Copilot) whose malfunction (hallucination) led to inaccuracies in an official police report.

The police chief's apology and suspension of the AI tool confirm the AI's role in the incident. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's malfunction directly led to harm.
