Photographer and veteran Isaac Wright arrested again in Kentucky
For the second time five months, photographer and U.S. Army veteran Isaac Wright was arrested by a team of law enforcement officers.
He was returning to Cincinnati after he turned himself into a Louisiana Court last week per Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Lisa Allen s instructions.
Wright s Instagram, Driftershoots, shows a number of Cincinnati locations.
Cincinnati police deployed 16 officers and five bomb dogs in response to his actions at Queen City Tower in November, prosecutors said.
Police got a nationwide warrant for Wright s arrest and alerted other law enforcement agencies when he was in their area, apparently tracking his phone.
