'To Catch a Predator' host Chris Hansen turns himself in amid video issue

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jul/2/chris-hansen-catch-predator-host-turns-himself-ami/

LANSING, Mich. — The former host of the “To Catch a Predator” TV series turned himself in Friday after a Michigan judge issued a warrant for his arrest for no-showing at a court hearing to explain why he had not given a defense lawyer more footage of a police sting operation.

Chris Hansen, 61, checked in at the Shiawassee County jail in Corunna - 65 miles northwest of Detroit - was released and has 14 days to produce the full video, prosecutor Scott Koerner said. Hansen later posted a photo of the county courthouse on Instagram and said all matters had been resolved.

...his team will do a house visit. You don’t want that. The last one ended in a suicide. Guy thought he was clever by realizing it was a sting and not showing up to get busted, so they came to him. He chose not to be busted and offed himself.
