A journalist was arrested at a Gov DeWine press conference yesterday
Sounds like police overreach vs at the direction of the governor, but troubling nonetheless.

The news conference started more than two hours late and DeWine started speaking at the same instant Lambert had to do a live broadcast from the back of the gym, Preston Swigart, a photographer who was with Lambert, told NewsNation.
Swigart said police officers approached Lambert and asked him to stop talking. Lambert finished the live report but was then asked to leave by authorities, who tried to forcibly remove him from the event, NewsNation reported.
...
The anchor handling the report said she heard the reporter saying, “The governor has just started speaking. I'm being told that I have to quit my report" before it was cut short.
