Freelance Journalist Sues Cincinnati Over Arrest at Crime Scene

Calvin Andrus claims false arrest after being detained for filming a crash scene despite following legal protocols.

Calvin Andrus, a journalist with nearly 30 years of experience, was arrested while filming a deadly car crash scene last November.
Andrus was behind police crime scene tape and attempted to show the officer a card detailing his legal right to record.
The arrest led to charges of obstructing official business, which were later dismissed by prosecutors in June.
Andrus has filed a lawsuit accusing the city and the arresting officer of false arrest and malicious prosecution.
The lawsuit seeks damages for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and medical expenses following the incident.
