Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit.
A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producers arm behind him to put on handcuffs.
Eslocker was put in handcuffs and loaded in the back of a police van which headed for a nearby police station.
Video taken at the scene shows a man, wearing the uniform of a Boulder County sheriff, ordering Eslocker off the sidewalk in front of the hotel, to the side of the entrance.
The photos below are from the video:
The last photo shows Mr. Eslocker in a strangle hold while other policemen have his arms locked.
The arrest was based on a complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel, a central location for Democratic officials.
Eslocker and his ABC News colleagues are spending the week investigating the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.
The Democrats didn’t want ABC to photograph Democratic Senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.
