January 21st, 2009 by admin

FOX 13 morning anchor Russell Rhodes was arrested Friday night and charged with obstructing or opposing an officer without violence. The incident happened in the parking garage at Channelside.

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s spokesman J.D. Callaway says that Rhodes repeatedly walked away from an off-duty deputy and refused to surrender his keys.

Callaway told FOX 13 that Rhodes was then injured as the deputy “took him to the ground and cuffed him.”

Ouch...that looks like it hurts

Rhodes was released from the Orient Road Jail Saturday morning on $500 bond.

FOX 13 management is aware of the matter and is reviewing it.
