We have in our possession a tape of the mug shot taken of him at the time of his arrest and we have aired that. It's also on our web site. There is no tape of him being arrested at the Burger King. He was arrested while getting off the exit to the highway in Menands. We were not present for that arrest. We were informed of it when were at court.
Where did this misinformation start. I've gotten a couple of notes like this and wonder who is spreading this rumor. If we had tape of him being cuffed and stuffed in a car we'd air it.

then check out what WND wrote:
The station has a mug shot of Ritter along with the footage, said News Director Paul Conti. "If it's not him, it's either his clone or a twin," said Conti. The news director said the 16-year-old girl had been lured by Ritter to meet him at the Burger King in Menands, N.Y., in order "to have her watch him have sex with himself." "Anyone who went to the Burger King that day could confirm the details of that event and report that a sting operation was underway that involved a decoy officer posing as a 16-year-old girl," Conti said. Conti told WorldNetDaily that WNYT plans to continue airing its information. Video footage of the arrest is being shown in the station's newscasts, because it was acquired prior to the sealing order, he said.
