(Allegheny County, PA) An advanced life support ambulance that is based at the Oakdale fire station brings hospital-level care to parts of Allegheny County thanks to a recent partnership with Northwest EMS.  An advanced life support ambulance is not an ambulance that is basic, because inside the unit are cardiac monitors that are advanced, airway equipment, life-saving medications, and the ability to treat trauma that is severe, cardiac arrests and breathing emergencies on scene. This is care that used to start at the hospital that can now start at the side of the patient, and the unit is responding to calls already. It is staffed every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for twelve hours a day.

(Wahsington, D.C.) According to a release in Washington D.C. yesterday from the Transportation Security Administration, it successfully implemented its new modernized alternative identity verification system, TSAConfirmID, resulting in a promising increase of REAL ID compliance.  95-99% of travelers are presenting REAL IDs or other acceptable forms of identification at airport security checkpoints based on early data reports, which is an improvement that is encouraging in compliance since TSA ConfirmID was announced in December of 2025. Passengers without REAL IDs or other acceptable forms of identification have the option to use TSA ConfirmID by paying a fee of $45 for a 10-day travel period. The new system is designed to both strengthen identity verification and to further enhance aviation security by closing long-standing gaps in ID standards.

(Allegheny County, PA) A man named Timothy Haver, a former Highmark Health manager, appeared in court yesterday in Pennsylvania after he was accused of tampering a female co-worker’s mug with bodily fluid.  According to a criminal complaint that was filed in December of 2025, this investigation began when a Highmark employee reported someone stalking and harassing her anonymously. She then reportedly found bodily fluid in her mug on multiple occasions. The criminal complaint also states that police were permitted to set up a hidden camera in her office and allegedly caught Haver taking the mug from the desk of the victim, then returning it later. Every time he took the mug, the victim told police that it had been tampered with when it was returned. Haver waived his preliminary hearing yesterday, and his case will now go to trial. Haver initially received charges of stalking, six counts of indecent assault and harassment.

(Pittsburgh, PA) An Allegheny County man has recently been arrested and charged for his involvement in a drug trafficking operation in two western Pennsylvania counties.  A joint operation which happened between several local law enforcement agencies, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, led to the arrest of 36-year-old Glenn Thomas after more than $100,000 worth of cocaine, other drugs, and two handguns, one of which was reported as stolen, were seized. Thomas is expected to be federally prosecuted and is being charged with drug trafficking and firearms offenses and he is in the Allegheny County Jail. It was learned throughout the investigation that Thomas had been selling crack cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamines, all of which were being kept in a stash house. A search warrant was executed by agents in that stash house and they found and seized these items which totaled about $180,000 in street value: 1,200 grams of cocaine, 400 grams of crystal meth, 46 grams of fentanyl, and 60 grams of crack cocaine. Agents also seized approximately $5,000 in cash and two handguns.
