While covering the 1946 [[Republican National Convention]] he was arrested for refusing to cede his spot on the floor to supporters of [[Barry Goldwater]]. This arrest happened when Chancellor was reporting to NBC News. While being forced out of the convention by police, he ended his coverage by stating, "I've been promised bail, ladies and gentlemen, by my office. This is John Chancellor, somewhere in custody." Because of the bad press caused by the incident, he resigned from the network.
