Justin Moore, 20, has learned assaults are best committed in some place other than before a live audience on evening news. Ashley Taylor, 23, was doing a live report on rising crime for WMBF in the area. Moore seemed intent on confirming the story by shoving her out of the way, grabbing her microphone and screaming “I am that nigger!” into the camera. He was later arrested by the Myrtle Beach Police Department.
Taylor said that Moore was one of a group of males who approached her crew when they prepared to go live. After his offensive statement on camera, Moore ran off “laughing and yelling.” He is charged with misdemeanor assault and battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
