This is big news right now in that area. Sad maybe, but that's not the debate. They went an extra mile (probably not at 219) to check him out and tried to scoop the other stations and media. I think they are also doing their jobs.
Will be very interested to see how big this fine is.

No offense taken.. you may have misunderstood the way I typed it.
I didn't condemn at all. Whomever it was called the TV guy a dweeb and I asked why?? because he was doing his job covering the news? no reason to call him a dweeb for that.
My only thought is naming someone on television before they get their day in court per se. You can be tried and crucified in the court of public opinion well before you even get to a regular court. As I said, we all know who the car belongs to, but when you listen to the TV stations, they are still doing their research. I always flinch when they announce someone's name earlier than they really should. That was all. Thx for the callout though, hopefully I explained a little better this time.
I looked at the Arizona laws to see what the possibilities are... there are maximum fines (like $750 from what I read)... it's the severity of the charge that may make jail time a possibility.
