One of the reporters at Wednesday's news conference in East Palestine was arrested.

NewsNation's Evan Lambert was pulled out of the building, thrown to the ground, handcuffed and then taken to a vehicle.


He was told by law enforcement to be quiet because Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was speaking.

According to a report from NewsNation, Lambert finished his report and then was told to leave before he was arrested.

DeWine talked to NewsNation on Thursday and said he didn't agree with Lambert being arrested.

"I don't want to see him in jail, I don't want to see him prosecuted, but for me to say I know what happened would simply not be the truth," DeWine said on "NewsNation Live" Thursday.

Lambert was released from the Columbiana County Jail late Wednesday night and is expected to be in court today.

He is facing charges of disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.
