Yesterday, FTVLive told you that NBC O&O, WRC in Washington, DC, had posted a message to social media, telling viewers that Anchor Leon Harris was off the air.

On Friday, Harris stumbled his way through the newscast at both 5 PM and 6 PM before he was eventually relieved from his duties.

Last night, just before Harris’s newscast was getting ready to air, WRC released this statement.

Harris has battled alcohol-related issues in the past.
