Reporter found guilty of trespassing

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A Pittsburgh newspaper reporter has been found guilty of trespassing at a chemical plant just outside the city while apparently working on a story on security with a CBS correspondent and a free-lance video cameraman.
Carla Swearingen, a district justice in Robinson, just east of Pittsburgh, found Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporter Carl Prine guilty Monday of the charge stemming from the Sept. 22 matter at a chemical plant on Neville Island.
Attorneys for the Tribune-Review said they planned to appeal.
Prine earlier this year wrote a series of stories for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on the dangers posed by lax security at chemical plants in post-Sept. 11 America.
Also arrested were Steve Kroft, an investigative reporter for the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," and Gregory E. Andracke, a longtime free-lance contributor to the program. Andracke pleaded guilty to the charge, which carries a $25 fine, but a hearing for Kroft has not been set.
