(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly requested an interview with a coach who is both a Super Bowl Champion and a Pittsburgh native. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, a source told him yesterday that the Steelers are expected to speak with Mike McCarthy, the former head coach of both the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. McCarthy, a native of Greenfield, was the head coach for the Packers when Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers played for the Packers when they won Super Bowl 45 against the Steelers on February 6th, 2011 in Arlington, Texas. McCarthy was the head coach of the Packers from 2006-2018, and then after a hiatus in 2019, he was hired by the Cowboys and coached them from 2020-2024. The sixty-two-year-old McCarthy worked with Steelers general manager Omar Khan in New Orleans in 2000 but he did not coach in the NFL this season. McCarthy is the most notable candidate of the head coaching search for the Steelers, but he becomes the ninth candidate that the team has requested an interview with. The search for a new head coach for the Steelers continues since Mike Tomlin stepped down as their head coach on Tuesday.

(Pittsburgh, PA) A man is now in custody after Pittsburgh police say he attempted to impersonate an ICE agent during a burglary. According to authorities, police were called to a reported burglary in progress Saturday night at a home in the 500 block of Climax Street in the city’s Beltzhoover neighborhood after a landlord said a man smashed a window and broke into a residence. While officers were en route, dispatchers reported that a tenant inside the residence had struck the suspect in the face with an object, knocking him unconscious. Police stated that the suspect, later identified as William Gregory, was found lying unconscious on the floor when officers arrived. Police confirm that a juvenile victim was standing in a doorway with minor injuries to his right ankle and hand and the juvenile told officers that Gregory entered through the kitchen window, went upstairs and shouted that he was an ICE agent demanding to see paperwork. Police then expressed that Gregory then pulled out a pocketknife, threatened to stab the juvenile and began stealing a PlayStation console and controllers and Gregory also forcibly took the juvenile’s cellphone, leading to a physical altercation. Police are planning to request arrest warrants for Gregory based on the investigation and the reported offenses and they expressed that he appeared heavily intoxicated and under the influence of drugs.

(Pittsburgh, PA) According to Allegheny County Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus, a Pittsburgh man who was wanted on multiple warrants was arrested on Friday morning after detectives found him hiding in an attic on the city’s North Side. Kraus confirmed that thirty-two-year-old Davon James had been a fugitive for about a month after probation-violation warrants were issued in two separate cases involving guilty pleas to firearms violations. James also is wanted by the city of Pittsburgh on charges including robbery, simple assault and strangulation. Detectives developed information last week that James was inside a residence on Hubbard Street. James was not found after an initial search of the home, but he was then found in an attic access opening in the second-floor ceiling after authorities state that he was completely covered by insulation and detectives saw what appeared to be hair braids sticking out from the insulation. James is now in the Allegheny County Jail.
