WBRZ-TV reporter arrested, accused of interfering with an investigation and intimidating an officer

A comment made by a WBRZ-TV reporter resulted in his arrest early Thursday morning after he was issued a criminal summons for interfering with a law enforcement investigation, a Baton Rouge police report says.
Brett Buffington, 27, of 11959 Nicholson Drive, was booked on counts of interfering with an officer and intimidating a public official.
According to the report, Buffington interfered with a burglary investigation at the 600 block of South Eugene Drive at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday when he disobeyed police requests to leave the area and took photos using a flash, which diverted the officers’ attention and put “their lives in danger.”
Police placed Buffington in the back of a police unit until the area was made safe, the report says. Buffington was then issued a criminal summons and told he was free to leave, to which he told an officer, “Hope you enjoy the rest of your career.”
The report says the officer took the comment to mean that Buffington would have the officer fired, so the reporter was then arrested and booked into the Parish Prison.

Policemen are dumb and get distracted by shiny things and flashes of light.

Is there anything that doesn't put their lives in danger?

Have you ever had a camera flash go off in your face in pitch black darkness?

Be on the lookout for video of Buffington randomly tossing the ol' pigskin around with some neighborhood youth...

There was a half moon last night and probably some sort of light...like from the cop cars.

Oh well, you're right. The guy obviously should have been arrested then.

What part South Eugene can be completely pitch black? I used to live in the area so I'm officially an expert.
