EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Officers from the East Palestine Police Department in Ohio arrested NewsNation reporter Evan Lambert during a press conference about the cleanup efforts following a train derailment in a small Ohio village.
Officials from the Columbiana County Jail confirmed Lambert was released at 10:20 p.m. on Wednesday and faces criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct charges. The Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to ABC News that they also assisted in the reporter's arrest.
DeWine did not see the incident due to a row of cameras but heard a"disagreement," according to Dan Tierney, DeWine's press secretary. "All I can say is that person had a right to be reporting; they should have been allowed to report," DeWine said."If they were in any way hampered from reporting, that certainly is wrong, and it is not anything I approve; in fact, I vehemently disapprove of it."
