I can't help but feel like there's some missing information here. One piece of information that's missing from the headline but not the article is that the jogger was not a Canadian citizen, which may have complicated things, but doesn't seem like it should have complicated things so much that she needed to be detained for two weeks.
One possibility is that the jogger not only wasn't a Canadian citizen, but may not have been a fluent english-speaker either.
This still seems screwed up though.
