Troubled CBS Anchor Resigns, Infidelity Allegations Emerge

WCBS-TV anchor Rob Morrison has resigned from his job three days after he was arrested for choking and threatening his wife.

Morrison was arrested at his Connecticut home this past weekend and charged with second-degree strangulation and threatening of his wife, CBS co-worker Ashley Morrison. While being processed for his charges, Morrison reportedly promised that he would 'kill' his wife when released.

And as details of the couple's seemingly tempestuous relationship come to light, the Daily News's sources allege that Morrison lost his previous job at NBC because of a 2008 affair with a co-worker.

Speaking exclusively with the paper Tuesday night, Morrison blamed his arrest on his mother-in-law who had phoned the police from her home in Indiana. 'Don't piss off your mother-in-law is the moral of the story,' he said, describing how he initially called her to see if she could end the dispute.

'I reached out to her mother in good faith looking for a level head in what was a chaotic situation and that's what I got in return,' he told the Daily News.

Morrison also denied ever making a threat against his wife's life, calling it an 'absolute fabrication.'
