A reporter who was arrested during an Occupy Nashville Protest has posted video of his altercation with authorities. His employer says the video offers proof that the arrest was unlawful.
Jonathan Meador, who works for the alt-weekly Nashville Scene was arrested and charged with public intoxication, according to The Tennessean. Meador said he had one drink at dinner, but was not drunk, the paper reported.
In the video, troopers come up to Meador, who tells them "I'm a member of the media," and says "I'm getting off [of the plaza]."
Then Meador is presumably arrested, after which a trooper is heard saying, "Tell him when you get him up there to charge him with resisting arrest," to which another trooper responds, "Yes, sir."
