A former booker for Fox News and senior producer for Fox contributor Laura Ingraham's radio show is reportedly facing charges of unlawful possession of a Congressional pin. This according to a report by the Examiner�s Scott McCabe:

A District man who told police he was a member of Congress during an incident near the U.S. Capitol has been charged with illegal possession of a congressional lapel pin.

The charges filed in U.S. District Court on Tuesday stem from a bizarre encounter with police last month. snip

Nelson Lewis, a former Fox News booker who took the role of senior producer for the Laura Ingraham Show for 15 weeks this year, was arraigned in District Court yesterday and is being charged with illegal possession of a congressional pin.
