Eli Motycka, a reporter for the alternative newsweekly @nashvillescene , was arrested while covering a student protest at @vanderbiltu in Tennessee on March 26. The trespassing charge against the journalist was dropped after a few hours. Motycka told the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker that he arrived on campus around noon to report on an ongoing sit-in that student protesters were holding at the Kirkland Hall administrative building in opposition to the Israel-Gaza war. After several campus police officers refused to let him enter the building, Motycka was arrested by a Vanderbilt University Police officer for criminal trespassing. He was released more than two hours later after his charges were dismissed. To read more, click the link in our bio. Cover photo: @rehders.photos / @vanderbilthustler
