“Several news crews were stationed in the area, lawfully filming from outside the perimeter of the active crime scene,” the news release states. “While members of a camera crew were in the process of packing their equipment, a male subject crossed the street and aggressively approached the media personnel, yelling profanities and demanding the tapes and recordings.”
An officer who observed Dicks interfering with media members approached the suspect commanding him to leave the scene, the news release states. Dicks refused, continued being aggressive, and was arrested.
