CBS 3 Fires Chris Mendte
by
CBS3 today announced that anchor Larry Mendte was released from his contract, nearly four weeks after the FBI seized his personal computer and showed up the station to inform management that Mendte was being investigated for allegedly reading former co-anchor Alycia Lane’s e-mail and feeding gossip to reporters.
In a statement read on the 6 p.m. news, anchor Susan Barnett said that Mendte, who last worked May 29, was released effective immediately and that Mendte was under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The station said the decision to let him go was based on an independent investigation conducted by CBS.
