"If someone was stopped from doing that, or told they could not do that, that was wrong," DeWine said.A following statement from the governor's office said DeWine didn't see the incident because a bank of cameras blocked his view but he did hear a"disagreement toward the back of the gymnasium."DeWine"has always respected the media's right to report live before, during, and after his press briefings" the statement said.
The Columbiana County Sheriff's Office administration said the arrest was made by officers from the East Palestine Police Department. A message seeking comment from the department was not immediately returned.About 50 train cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash Friday night on the edge of East Palestine. Federal investigators say a mechanical issue with a rail car axle caused the derailment.
At the news conference, authorities said sampling had shown air quality in the area was safe and residents could return home, although DeWine said some residents may want to wait until the air inside their homes is checked.The news conference started more than two hours late and DeWine started speaking at the same instant Lambert had to do a live broadcast from the back of the gym, Preston Swigart, a photographer who was with Lambert, told NewsNation.
