Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has reportedly been arrested in connection with his participation in a protest inside a Minnesota church on January 18.

The arrest stems from the demonstration at Cities Church in St. Paul, where Lemon was present along with other journalists.

A federal magistrate judge recently rejected a proposed criminal complaint from the Department of Justice charging Lemon over the protest.

Lemon livestreamed the event for nearly seven hours on his YouTube channel, the USA Today has reported.

During the livestream, he spoke with congregation members, protesters, and one of the church’s pastors.
