Police chief faces intimidation count in sex assault case
BETHEL PARK, Pa. (AP) — A police chief in western Pennsylvania has been charged with witness intimidation stemming from the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl. Duquesne Chief Thomas Dunlevy turned himself in Wednesday after Allegheny County police obtained a warrant for his arrest. It wasn’t known Thursday if he has retained an attorney. The suspect in the sex assault case is a 20-year-old man who authorities say is a friend of Dunlevy’s. Authorities say Dunlevy confronted the teen’s father with information that would come out during the trial of the sex assault case and that he said could result in “a negative contact” with the county’s child welfare department.
