UPDATE on TV reporter arrested while covering traffic crash
It's never good PR for a police agency when they arrest a reporter. It's even worse when the arresting sergeant has a disciplinary history.
A recap: A KVIA reporter from El Paso, Tex., is reporting on a car crash on I-10 when a police sergeant tells them to leave. The reporter protests and he -- and his camera guy -- are both tossed against a fence and arrested.
Now the police chief is calling for an investigation into the arrest and the sergeant's background is being bandied about.
