Earlier Ruptly reported that the producer, Denise Reese, was arrested by St. Louis law enforcement during covering the Ferguson unrest.
Protests erupted in Ferguson on Monday after a grand jury chose not to press charges against the white police officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown in August.
