Not to mention:

"Theft of police equipment"

"Knocking out officer"

"Leaving a crime scene, on fire"

"Suspected of smuggling army material"

"Possible kidnapping of minors"

it's going to be a very long list in possibly the most colourful report in the officers' career.



And one more could be added if the officer knew about Zhaos' past experiences:

"Claims of encounters with multible Spirits, which took him to their homeplane,

Said claim is suspected to be the product of Repeated use of substance, which caused vivid and long hallucinations leaving the suspect amnesiac"

The earthbender would assume Zhao was… affected by something (cruel, I know)



Not to mention these point which are more credible since there were witnesses:

"Hate crime against spirits"

"cruelty to animals"

and "assassination attempt on royalty through use of a third party of confirmed pirates"



the list goes on, But the points I've mentioned is far more than enough I'd say
