Prosecutors dropped felony charges last week against two journalists arrested at a protest that originated in Cincinnati over the detention of an Egyptian man by immigration authorities.
The District Court judge agreed to dismiss with prejudice the felony rioting charges against reporter Madeline Fening and photography intern Lucas Griffith of Citybeat Cincinnati.
The two were among at least 13 people arrested in a demonstration that blocked the Roebling Bridge, which carries traffic over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Kentucky.
