A broadcast reporter was pushed to the ground, handcuffed and arrested for trespassing Wednesday while covering a news conference about the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Ohio.
NewsNation posted video of correspondent Evan Lambert being arrested in the gymnasium of an elementary school in East Palestine where Gov. Mike DeWine was giving an update about the accident."I'm doing fine right now. It's been an extremely long day," Lambert said after his release. "No journalist expects to be arrested when you're doing your job, and I think that's really important that that doesn't happen in our country.
A following statement from the governor's office said DeWine didn't see the incident because a bank of cameras blocked his view but he did hear a "disagreement toward the back of the gymnasium." The Columbiana County Sheriff's Office administration said the arrest was made by officers from the East Palestine Police Department. A message seeking comment from the department was not immediately returned.
At the news conference, authorities said sampling had shown air quality in the area was safe and residents could return home, although DeWine said some residents may want to wait until the air inside their homes is checked.
