KCSD Blasts KREM’s Bagg, Backs Off

Seems Spokane County Sheriff’s spokesman Dave Reagan has had to eat his words re: a visit by KREM report Marissa Bagg, pictured, to the Hayden home of Deputy Brian Hirzel. Hirzel is the deputy who shot 74YO Pastor Wayne Scott Creach to death at his Spokane Valley nursery last week. Reagan accused Bagg of trespassing and scaring the children in the home in an attempt to interview the family. Bloglander, the Inlander blog, provides Reagan’s first release, ripping Bagg here . Then, the Bloglander offers a follow-up post in which Reagan admits that Bagg had not trespassed as he’d been told. “The reporter, Marissa Bagg, walked to the front door of the home and knocked while her videographer filmed from the end of the walkway.  Marissa received no answer at the home and interviewed a neighbor instead.  Based on what the children told Kootenai County deputies, the kids were obviously shaken and may have overstated the event in recounting it to deputies.”

Question: Should KCSD spokesman Dave Reagan have publicly apologized to Marissa Bagg?
