AZ Rep Loses Restraining Order Bid Against Reporter

Arizona Central reports:

A Flagstaff judge has dismissed the restraining order filed by Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers against a reporter who visited her two Phoenix-area homes while gathering facts for an article. Flagstaff Justice of the Peace Howard Grodman dismissed the injunction against harassment after a three-hour hearing Wednesday where both Rogers and reporter Camryn Sanchez testified.

Grodman said that as an investigative reporter, Sanchez had a legitimate purpose in showing up to Rogers’ residences and therefore the petition did not meet the threshold needed for a restraining order. Sanchez’s attorney argued that as a reporter working on a story specifically related to the senator’s primary residence, it was well within her job responsibilities to go to the properties — a sentiment the judge ultimately agreed with.
