Journal News
Former congressional candidate Jim Russell was arrested on trespass and harassment violations Thursday after he was spotted on The Journal News property at 1 Gannett Drive in White Plains, NY. He’d been seen on the property a number of times over the past several weeks and had been warned to stay away, according to the newspaper.
A lawsuit that Russell filed last October against the Journal News and other media was dismissed in early July. He claimed the news outlets had defamed him by painting him as a racist because of what he wrote in a 2001 Occidental Quarterly article.
