MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) A Charlotte man is behind bars after shoving a WMBF News reporter, snatching her microphone, and shouting expletives on live television Wednesday night.
While standing on the sidewalk at 915 North Ocean Boulevard in the heart of Myrtle Beach, reporter Ashley Taylor was speaking live during the WMBF 11 p.m. newscast concerning the escalating crime rates across the Grand Strand, when she was violently pushed from in front of the camera.
Justin Moore, 20, of Charlotte, NC, jumped in front of the camera after nearly shoving Taylor to the ground. Donning a blue t-shirt and dark sunglasses, the man snatched the microphone from the startled reporter's hand and began shouting the "N" word, in reference to himself.
An unexpecting audience viewing the newscast suddenly saw Moore come across their screen and scream, "I am that [‘N' word]," before the live shot ended.
In a report from the Myrtle Beach Police Department, officers state they were contacted by the victim who said while she prepared to go live on television she and a coworker noticed a group of four to five males lingering in the area.
When Taylor began talking, she told police, one of the males knocked her out of the way, nearly causing her to fall to the pavement after grabbing her microphone.
Police officers were given pictures of the suspect, who was arrested only moments later. Video of the assault was given to police who placed the recording into evidence.
Moore was placed under arrest and charged with third degree assault and battery. He was released from jail Thursday afternoon on a bond of just under $1,400.

Oh well, he is what he is, he knows what he is, and he’s upfront about what he is. Admission is the first step toward rehabilitation - I think 10 years would be a good start.
Sounds like she plagiarized Juan Williams.
North Carolina?
Isn't this where Mayberry was located?
The reporter kept referring to the incident as an attack? Gimme a break.
What did he say, “I’m Traaaayvoon”?
Give me a break, all he did was take her mic. He did a Kanye West/Taylor Swift deal.
Just what I was saying, and they charged him with 3rd degree assault and battery. He just took her mic!! WTF?
AMEN!
Class C Misdemeanor
Assault (by threatening imminent bodily injury or by causing offensive or provocative physical contact)
[Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.01(a)(2) and (3), (c)]
Probably just a stiff fine in Texas, and NC too.
He was just imitating Chuck Schumer whenever he sees a TV camera.
N word.. Oh dear, what a joke. It’s fine if he says it, he is entitled to do that, but don’t any of you Redneck, honkey, cracker Lilly white a** white boys say the N word, it’s politically incorrect dontcha know
If Obama had a son he would act and talk just like this.
Actually, it happened in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
We were just talking about this at lunch. Myrtle Beach ain’t no Mayberry (Mount Airy).
I agree! They're throwing it in our faces, they want us to say it. They want whitey to use a phrase that previously denigrated but has since been used as a term of endearment among socio-cultural circles in the black community.
I personally will not deign to the likes of Sharpton, but I think this should ignite a serious, adult debate about the double-standard in this country. Those of us working every day (blacks included) are tired of paying for the wants of those who aren't. Like a deadweight boyfriend or a 30-year old kid living in his parent's house, it's time to call a spade a spade. Get a job or get the Hell out of our way.
He was so drunk He couldn't remember Trayvon's name?...........
Well, if you don’t count him screaming it out loud...
Nothing to see here folks, just another SOB...Son of Barack!
