Perp Walk-Day:3

Today was such a special day today! Ahhh I got to go outside and report with John(Left Photo)and his photographer  Mike(right photo). I got to witness my first perp walk..


Perp Walk-Wikipedia defines it as...an American slang term which refers to the police practice of intentionally parading an arrested suspect (or "perp", short for "perpetrator") through a public place so that the media may observe and record the event. The suspect is typically handcuffed or otherwise restrained, and is often dressed in prison garb.

We went around Scranton to cover a story involving a $123,000 scandal! After that I watched mike edit the piece and John air it. I sat in on the 5'o'clock news and got to see everyone in action, both live and not live. Even though it might have been a rough crazy day at the station...it was an amazing experience for me!
