While being questioned in Franklin Tuesday night about a recent campaign finance report, State Rep. Jeremy Durham called the police on Post staff writer Cari Wade Gervin.

Gervin had driven to Durham’s house to attempt to ask the former House majority whip three questions about his most recent filing. Earlier on Tuesday, Durham had not returned two phone calls and had replied to her first-ever text to him, “Please don’t text me anymore.” When Gervin rang the doorbell of Durham’s residence shortly after 8 p.m. and subsequently introduced herself, the representative screamed at her to leave his property and tried to grab her cell phone out of her hand. Soon after, because Gervin had momentarily partially stepped onto his threshold during the altercation, Durham called the police to report that she was “criminally trespassing.”
