Reporter pleads guilty to prank call using Gov. Noem's phone number.

Reporter Austin Goss pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge after making a prank phone call using South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s personal cell phone number. Goss was fired from his job as the Capitol bureau reporter for Dakota News Now after the news organization learned of the matter. Goss’ lawyer called the call a “practical joke” between Goss and a friend. The court granted Goss a suspended imposition of sentence so there will be no conviction on his record.
