N.Y. Times Reporter Held Near

N.Y. Times Reporter Held Near Airport

"A New York Times reporter and photographer who were following up on a story about lost boaters at Kennedy International Airport were themselves picked up by police near the airport Wednesday."

I used to (indirectly) work with the reporter, Corey Kilgannon. He was a freelancer at the local weekly paper The Resident while I was an intern. He basically wrote every word they ran.

"Police released Romero, but held Kilgannon after finding an outstanding warrant charging him with riding a bicycle on a sidewalk in 2002. Kilgannon was taken to Manhattan criminal court for an appearance on that matter."

Thank god we got him off the streets. Er, sidewalks. Whatever.
