Charges have been dropped against a Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested during the corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich.
Reporter Doug Belkin was arrested in the federal courthouse lobby July 21 for interviewing an attorney outside a reserved media area. He was cited with a misdemeanor, which was dropped.
"We are gratified that the citations against Doug have been dropped, and this matter is now over," Ashley S. Huston, spokeswoman for Dow Jones & Company, said Tuesday.
