Cuyahoga County judge orders arrest of Plain Dealer reporter, wants to know source of story on murder suspect Anthony Sowell

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold ordered the arrest of a Plain Dealer reporter Tuesday after he failed to appear at an abruptly scheduled hearing to determine how the newspaper obtained a psychiatric evaluation of serial-killing suspect Anthony Sowell.

The hearing on Tuesday came more than four months after reporter Gabriel Baird based a Nov. 6 story on the 2005 evaluation, which concluded that Sowell was unlikely to assault women after he served 15 years in prison for attempted rape. The medical report contained details of Sowell's childhood and the years he spent in prison after being convicted of sexual assault in 1989.
