Valley News Live is pursuing criminal charges against a man that allegedly vandalized one of the outlet’s vehicles.
The Fargo-based TV station said reporter Joshua Peguero was preparing for a live shot around 4 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of 2nd Avenue North and 28th Street North in Moorhead.
A man allegedly approached Peguero and made several abusive statements, among them "f*** the media."
The man then proceeded to take an object from a parked truck and smashed the windshield of the outlet’s vehicle. According to Valley News Live’s story, the man has been arrested by the Moorhead Police Department.
Valley News Live intends to pursue criminal charges against the individual.
Station reporter Bailey Hurley also spoke about the incident on Twitter.
“THIS is why reporters don’t engage w/ people who try to talk to us on the street.,” Hurley wrote. “Also why I refuse to ever acknowledge anyone who honks at me or tries to chat at a stoplight. We don’t know your intentions and most importantly, WE JUST WANT TO DO OUR JOBS IN PEACE!”
