(East Palestine, Ohio) Body cam footage has been provided to Beaver County Radio by Ohio State Highway Patrol showing the arrest of Evan Lambert, a NewsNation reporter from Washington D.C., who was broadcasting live during the East Palestine train derailment press conference with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.  Lambert is seen broadcasting live before being told to stop by Ohio National Guard Major General John Harris.  Audio was redacted by police during the altercation between Lambert and Harris. Harris can be be seen grabbing Lamberts chest briefly before State Police and the Columbiana County Sheriffs Office step in.  An Ohio State Police officer is seen keeping Harris away from Lambert.  Lambert was then asked by police to leave and pleads with them that he is going to listen to the conference and do his job. A member of the Columbiana County Sheriffs grabs Lamberts arm and begins pulling him towards the door before him and a female officer take Lambert to the ground and handcuff him.  Lambert was charged with Criminal Trespassing and Disorderly Conduct, and released from the Columbiana County jail hours later with a court date for later this month. Beaver County Radio was also in attendance and caught the incident on camera. Both videos can be viewed below.
