Seen as a hero to many in the Greater New Orleans area, Norman Robinson, 57, news anchor for 17 years in New Orleans, crashed his car in a New Orleans neighborhood on Saturday morning.
When he got out of his vehicle, he urinated on a police officer. His blood alcohol was .131, 1.6 times the legal limit. He was booked at 9:00 a.m. but released on bond shortly.
WDSU (the local NBC news affiliate) officials met the same day to decide Robinson's fate, but issued the statement: "Norman is a colleague, a friend and an asset to this community. We wish him and his family the best as they address this situation."
Robinson hosted "6 on Your Side Live" after Katrina and personally berated FEMA for doing very little. In the 90's, he confronted Klans Master David Duke and his run for Louisiana governor during a live debate. He was also a White House correspondent for CBS.
