Criminal charges have been dropped against a reporter who was arrested while covering an Ohio news conference about the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals.

On Feb. 15, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced that NewsNation reporter Evan Lambert would no longer face charges stemming from his arrest on Feb. 8, five days after a train loaded with toxic chemicals derailed and ignited in a small rural town near the Pennsylvania border.
