@MLSfixDave @FootballinKabul Very kind of you David. Truly a remarkable group of people who took me in there. I, for one, cannot believe 7 years have passed😧

@EugeneSonn That's incredibly kind of you, Gene. I will miss you and the newsroom and will stay in touch! Once a NJ news junkie, always a NJ news junkie....

[Nicholas Pugliese @nickpugz]

I am no longer a reporter at WHYY. However, @byJoeHernandez and @EugeneSonn remain on the New Jersey desk. Follow them for updates/to share ideas. (1/3)

@saksappeal Oh shoot! Guess I'm gonna have to learn the hard way...

[Nicholas Pugliese @nickpugz]

For me, it’s back to school to study the law and wherever that may take me. (3/3)

[Nicholas Pugliese @nickpugz]

I’m deeply grateful for my time at WHYY making radio and working with a tremendous group of reporters and editors, who rise to the occasion no matter how big (pandemic, recession, protests, whatever comes next). (2/3)

Last night, an @AsburyParkPress reporter was arrested while covering protests.

I know that officers face enormous challenges while maintaining order during a chaotic situation. But I've discussed this matter with local authorities and they will be dismissing the charge today.

A clear violation of curfew, similar to those guarding Target in South Philly last night. Read this thread from our @WHYYNews colleague about a largely white gathering in Fishtown looking for a fight.

"Because the investigation is active, and also because we are in the early stages of information gathering, we are unable to comment further at this point."

Just a little context to add to this video since I see ppl repeating one detail...I believe I was taken to the ground from behind or the side. Certainly didn't see it coming. These things happen fast. Lots of chaos.
