Reporter pleads guilty to prank calling GOP official with Gov. Kristi Noem's phone number.

TL;DR Summary
Reporter Austin Goss pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after using South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's personal phone number to make a prank call to Dan Lederman, the former chairman of the South Dakota Republican Party. Goss used the website PrankDial to make it seem like the call came from Noem. Lederman reported the call to the police, claiming it caused him concern for his safety. Goss was fired from his job as a Capitol bureau reporter and his attorney described the call as a "practical joke." The court granted Goss a suspended imposition of sentence, so there will be no conviction on his record.
