Getting the story is always priority No. 1, but a Phoenix TV reporter seems to have forgotten about No. 2 until it was too late.
Jonathan Lowe, a reporter for KPHO, was arrested Monday afternoon after allegedly defecating on a front lawn near the subject of his storys home.
The 33-year-old was seen by a neighbor as he picked up papers from the street before leaning against the wall of a house and relieving himself, according to a Goodyear police report obtained by his station.
An officer tasked with the job of tracking Lowe down said the suspect admitted to using the yard as an impromptu latrine.
Lowe was arrested for public defecation, and now faces a fine of $2,500 or six months in jail for the misdemeanor, according to the Phoenix New Times.
KPHO news director Dan Wilson told the Times Wednesday that Lowe was still employed, though the channels Thursday night write-up of their colleagues legal troubles called him a former KPHO/KTVK reporter.
The journalists bio page on the stations site is no longer active, while a list of his articles shows the story he was covering during his bathroom breakdown.

If he self identifies as as a lawn pincher, what’s the problem?

Shouldn't the reporter be given an award for recycling?
Mebbe the reporter is transgender and couldn't puzzle out which restroom to use that day.
