Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said Evan Lambert’s “conduct was consistent with the purpose of the event and his role as a reporter.”
Wednesday, Lambert said: “Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I do not want nor relish in any of this extra attention. To all who have shared the video of the harassment, then excessive force, then unjust and illegal arrest, I thank you.
” He said charges of resisting arrest and criminal trespass should never have been filed. “I will be OK. I will also continue to do my job... I also hope what happened to me shines further attention on the people of East Palestine, who rightly have questions about their safety in light of an environmental hazard,” he added.
