Kopel Says He Was Followed by TV Station
Kopel claims a local TV station followed him from his home to the county office to the YMCA and back, and later to a school of instruction for election workers. He was told the vehicle’s occupants worked for the station, but the purpose remains unclear. He learned the YMCA was asked how often he reserved racquetball courts. He says the pursuit is harassment and has notified the Sheriff’s Department.
