Chris Hansen addresses bench warrant, 'miscommunication' with 'Predator' sting footage: It’s 'silliness'

Chris Hansen, who has been hit with myriad legal issues over the past three years, said he scrambled to get his ducks in a row right before he was hit with yet another issue: a bench warrant for failing to appear at a recent court hearing in Michigan.

The ex-"To Catch a Predator" host told Fox News that reports he was served with a subpoena – and subsequently failed to turn over raw footage from a police sting – is "much ado about nothing" and "silliness." Hansen claims the notice was taped to a door of his West Bloomfield, Mich., place despite his residence of record being in New York City. "This wasn't one of those First Amendment battles where we're trying to sandbag the defense counsel for a bad guy who got caught trying to rape a child," Hansen, 61, said of the issued warrant, which came after defense lawyers for the ex-corrections officer, Michael Lott, supposedly "grew impatient" with the speed that Hansen had not provided the raw sting footage.
