Fox News Anchor Arrested At Airport Bar

Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett was arrested last night at a lounge in the Minneapolis airport.

Jarrett, 59, is charged in Hennepin County District Court with a misdemeanor, obstructing the legal process, interfering with a police officer and has an arraignment scheduled in an Edina courtroom for June 6. Jarrett, who is a weekend co-anchor on the FOX News Channel, was arrested about 12:30 p.m. at Northern Lights Grill in the main terminal, said Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Jarrett was released from custody shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday after a $300 bond was posted, according to Hennepin County Sheriff's Office records. The records show he's due in court on June 6. Police had been called about an intoxicated man at the grill. Officers reported Jarrett refused to follow orders and was arrested for obstruction of the legal process and taken to jail.

A spokesman for Fox News said that Jarrett is on leave from the network. The spokesman added: "He is dealing with serious personal issues at this time. A date at which Gregg might return to air has yet to be determined."

Gregg Jarrett Vs Don Lemon, Round Two

Fox News host Gregg Jarrett is continuing his battle with CNN's Don Lemon over the result of Florida's "loud music" murder trial.

Jarrett told Fox News Radio’s John Gibson that he may be an old man, but Lemon shouldn’t look down on that, because “I bring to the table a lot of experience that he utterly lacks,” suggesting Lemon could “use a measure of maturity.” He concluded, “I think he’s the Al Sharpton on CNN.” Later in the day, Jarrett continued slamming Lemon during an appearance with Megyn Kelly. He said Lemon “set aside all measure of objectivity and he acted on-air as judge, jury, and executioner.” It “incensed” him, Jarrett added, that Lemon “had the audacity to claim, on-air, that he knows better than these jurors.” He suggested if Lemon wants a forum to share his opinions on legal matters, he should “have a talk show” instead.
