The Jupiter Police Department directed TIME to a [press release](https://www.jupiter.fl.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/448) on a “misdemeanor battery investigation” when asked about the journalist Michelle Fields’ complaint. The press release says a police report was filed Friday morning, and the initial report is forthcoming. Fields says that Corey Lewandowski forcibly yanked her out of the way at a Trump event on Tuesday when she tried to ask the candidate a question. Lewandowski and the Trump campaign deny the incident. Lewandowski called the reporter “delusional”: > [](https://twitter.com/CLewandowski%5F/status/708162663579144192) The campaign released a new statement Friday, saying, “The accusation, which has only been made in the media and never addressed directly with the campaign, is entirely false… Not a single camera or reporter of more than 100 in attendance captured the alleged incident.” Reporter Files Police Report Against Trump Campaign Manager ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4255936/breitbart-reporter-corey-lewandowski-trump-violence-police-report/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4255936/breitbart-reporter-corey-lewandowski-trump-violence-police-report/"},"headline":"Reporter Files Police Report Against Trump Campaign Manager Over Alleged Assault","datePublished":"2016-03-11T17:58:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:50:28.578Z","description":"A reporter says she was forcibly yanked out of the way at a rally","url":"https://time.com/4255936/breitbart-reporter-corey-lewandowski-trump-violence-police-report/","keywords":["Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt373ac70f31cc5362/69888a922dce0128b79e825e/donald-trump10.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt373ac70f31cc5362/69888a922dce0128b79e825e/donald-trump10.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald J.
