October 25, 2007 - A Miami television reporter was arrested Tuesday while covering a story at a local high school.
Jeffrey Weinsier, 40, was charged with trespassing on school property with a weapon, possession of a firearm on school grounds and resisting officers without violence. Weinsier was released from jail on an $11,000 bond.
Weinsier is a WPLG, ABC affiliate reporter. Police say he was arrested at Miami Central High after he was repeatedly warned against trespassing on school property.
According to detective Ed Torrens, Weinsier had a concealed weapons permit, but state law prohibits anyone from being armed at schools.
Weinser denied that he was trespassing. An attorney for WPLG says if Weiser was standing on public property at the time of the arrest, there would have been no reason to take him into custody.
