NEW BRUNSWICK – Charlie
Kratovil thought he was going to get a scoop about the Police Department.
Instead, the New Brunswick
journalist got arrested.
Kratovil, who is the editor of
New Brunswick Today, released an audio recording of what he says transpired
Tuesday night, after he was accused of violating a temporary restraining order.
Kratovil says he received a
phone call Tuesday night from an anonymous tipster. The man, who didn't give
his name, told Kratovil he could tell him which police officer threw away a
book of traffic tickets, which Kratovil reported on earlier this month. The
city is investigating the claim.
Kratovil and the man agreed to
meet at Starbucks on George Street. When Kratovil showed up, he was arrested.
