POLSON – A motion to dismiss three misdemeanor charges against the editor of a local newspaper who was arrested while photographing a crash scene says Vince Lovato was taken into custody “for the sole purpose of preventing him from exercising (a) well-settled constitutional right.

The state’s response to the motion alleges Lovato failed to obey a lawful command from a Montana Highway Patrol trooper, and then unleashed a “vitriolic tirade” after he was handcuffed and arrested.
