Background glimpse of Today intruder captured minutes before studio entry, video shows arrest

A 41-year-old man, Andrew Truelove, was seen in the background near NBC's Today show set minutes before allegedly slipping into the studio, shouting “Where is Roker?” and hurling a racial slur at Craig Melvin. He was arrested and held on a $10,000 bond with a court order keeping him away from the anchors. Savannah Guthrie took a leave from the show; NBC fired a security guard over the incident. Truelove has a lengthy criminal history in New York City and a 2007 abduction conviction in Virginia.
