"ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donors" from ABC News reports that ABC producer Asa Eslocker was arrested for taking pictures of Senators and big Democrat donors in Denver. He was doing a piece on the role of lobbyists and big donors at the convention.
UPDATE:
A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs.
A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.
