Reporter arrested after repeatedly questioning Health secretary
Source: The Hill
Dan Heyman, a reporter for Public News Service, said he was arrested at the West Virginia State Capitol after trying to ask Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price a question about the House-passed healthcare bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
In a press conference held shortly after posting bail, Heyman said he asked Price repeatedly about whether domestic violence is considered a preexisting condition under the new GOP healthcare bill.
According to Heyman’s account, he waited for Price to come into the building and then reached past those accompanying Price with his phone and repeatedly asked his healthcare questions, adding that a number of other reporters wanted to bring up the issue of preexisting conditions.
He said capitol police at some point “decided I was just too persistent in asking this question and trying to do my job and so they arrested me.”

he'll have you thrown in the slammer. That sounds fair, doesn't it?
After all, maybe he doesn't want to answer your questions.
Next time, it could be worse for you. He could pretend you were a threat to his life, that you "went for" your "waistband."
