A broadcast reporter pleaded guilty Tuesday to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge filed after he made a prank phone call using South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's personal cell phone number.
Reporter Austin Goss pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor that stemmed from a pre-recorded prank call he made Jan. 22 to Dan Lederman, the former chairman of the South Dakota Republican Party. Lederman previously confirmed to CBS News that he was the prank call's recipient but he declined further comment.
The call, which came from a website called PrankDial, made it appear it was coming from Noem's cell phone.
