In Lincoln, Neb., reporter Zach Worthington showed up to do his job and got arrested instead.
The Journal Star reports the 24-year-old KLKN reporter had been under investigation for months on suspicion of sexual assault. When he showed up to a morning brief at the police department this week he was handcuffed and taken to jail.
A police spokesperson said the alleged assault happened on or around Oct. 1, 2018 in Lincoln.
