Hours after news broke about a \u201cToday\u201d show intruder, Craig Melvin is breaking his silence.<\/p>\n
On Thursday afternoon, Melvin wrote on Instagram<\/a>, \u201cHey everyone. I\u2019ve heard from so many of you over the last few hours,\u201d Craig wrote. \u201cI\u2019m doing just fine. Thanks for reaching out. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning on Today.\u201d<\/p>\n The show confirmed that the incident occurred at the studio, telling \u201cExtra\u201d earlier today, \u201cThere was a security incident this morning at the TODAY show studio. An individual entered an unauthorized area in a vestibule near Studio 1A. The person approached anchor Craig Melvin, who alerted security. The individual was detained and taken into custody by law enforcement without further incident.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was no altercation, and no one was injured. TODAY is cooperating fully with law enforcement as they investigate the matter. NBC and TODAY take the safety and security of our employees, talent, staff and guests extremely seriously. We are reviewing the incident and our security protocols and remain committed to providing a safe and secure environment for everyone who works at and visits our studios.\u201d<\/p>\n People magazine<\/a> reports Andrew Truelove has been charged with hate crime \u2014 burglary; hate crime \u2014 menacing; hate crime \u2014 criminal trespass, and harassment.<\/p>\n Truelove has a criminal record. Just last month, he pleaded guilty to felony criminal mischief relating to the damage of several cars. A judge sentenced Truelove to six months in jail, five years of probation, and $375 in fees. He also has three criminal cases pending in New York, pleading not guilty to charges like misdemeanor assault, reckless endangerment, criminal trespass on railroad property, and trespassing.<\/p>\n TMZ was the first to report the news.<\/p>\n According to the outlet, the man came face-to-face with Melvin near a dressing room, allegedly yelling racial slurs at the host.<\/p>\n It was reported that the man was looking for Al Roker initially. When he couldn\u2019t find the weatherman, he focused on Melvin.<\/p>\n Craig and Al managed to maintain their composure and resumed their on-air duties without any hint of a disturbance. <\/p>\n Source: Entertainment Movies \u2013 Extra TV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hours after news broke about a \u201cToday\u201d show intruder, Craig Melvin is breaking his silence.
