The male driver sped off and but soon crashed, ending up in a nearby yard.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo has been arrested on charges of simple assault, criminal mischief, and harassment. According to the criminal complaint, Chickillo was arrested Sunday by the Uniontown Pennsylvania State Police. Police say the arrest was from a domestic dispute that happened at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort with his girlfriend, Alysha Newman. Chickillo says the argument became physical when Newman hit him in the head. Newman says she punched Chickillo in the head after he grabbed her and forced her against the door and wall in the room. She had injuries on her biceps. The Steelers say they are still gathering information regarding the arrest. Chickillo was taken into custody and released on a $10,000 bail. He will have a preliminary hearing on October 30.
