911: Say What You Mean; Mean What You Say

This lede says something you didn't mean to say. Let's read it literally:

An East Lansing man was arrested today for allegedly raping his neighbor in response to a brave 6-year-old's 911 call placed to the East Lansing Police Department.

What you just said the rape was in response to the 911 call. What you mean to say was that the man was arrested due to the 911 call, like this:

An East Lansing man who allegedly raped his neighbor was arrested in response to a brave 6-year-old's 911 call placed to the East Lansing Police Department.

Let's ignore that the sentence is a bit run-onish. Now, improved word order better recognized the sequence of events while minimizing the chance of any reader confusion.

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
