Ayano Nagaishi and Alison Cutler, government watchdog reporters for the Staunton News Leader, were reporting on a small protest for Andrew Brown Jr., an unarmed Black man who was shot and killed by deputies in Elizabeth City. About 50 people had gathered to demand transparency and the release of body camera footage.
Nagaishi was filming a Twitter live video when she and Cutler were approached by police, asking for the "ladies in the vests."
Nagaishi and Cutler, who were both released at 10:30 p.m, later told USA TODAY that they were no more than a foot away from the curb, in a crosswalk, when filming the scene across the street.
