(McKees Rocks, PA) A man is now accused of forging documents to benefit from an estate owned by his mother with dementia. According to Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala’s Office yesterday, charges were filed against sixty-year-old William Suhoski of McKees Rocks on Tuesday. Police confirmed that he was one of three intended heirs of deeds that included property in Crawford County and property on Saint Leo Street in Pittsburgh that were signed in 2015. A spouse of one of the three intended heirs noticed that her husband never got any money from those deeds or sales of property. Investigators learned of a renunciation form that was reportedly signed in April of 2021 and police noted that Suhoski was given the right to administer the deeds that were originally signed by his now deceased father and his mother, who is currently suffering from dementia. He was charged with theft by deception, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and forgery. He was released on nonmonetary bond and is awaiting a preliminary hearing.  Police and the spouse were suspicious because the renunciation showed that it was signed by Suhoski’s mother after she had dementia and they were concerned that she may not have known what the form meant. An investigator for the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office contacted the woman, who notarized the form. When police spoke with that woman on March 13th, she told them that she worked for Universal Steel Buildings in McKees Rocks. She said that Suhoski was the controller for Universal Steel Buildings during April of 2021, which was the time when the renunciation form was allegedly notarized. This woman also told the police that she did not notarize any of the forms he used to take control of the estate and said her notary journal showed the same. Police expressed that the woman said he must have taken her notary stamp without her knowledge and forged her signature, two of the estate properties were later sold for $76,000 and the money appears to have gone to Suhoski. Investigators confirmed that he filed fraudulent paperwork with the Allegheny Department of Court Records to make this happen. Suhoski was charged with theft by deception, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property and forgery. He was released on nonmonetary bond and is awaiting a preliminary hearing.

(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday recently announced that a federal jury has returned a verdict against Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ticketmaster, LLC., regarding monopolistic practices that violated antitrust laws. Sunday and a coalition of states continued to pursue the lawsuit, despite a recent settlement agreement between the companies and the U.S. Department of Justice, which was an agreement the coalition believed fell short of being a fair remedy for consumers. In 2024, 40 attorneys general joined the federal agency in an antitrust lawsuit, alleging that Live Nation, the owner and operator of numerous venues nationwide, including Pennsylvania — and Ticketmaster, the ticketing service giant, form an illegal monopoly over the live entertainment industry. The jury found the companies liable on all monopolization counts and awarded damages to the states. The federal judge who oversaw the trial will determine remedies for the illegal conduct at a separate proceeding on a later date.

(Allegheny County, PA) A father from Sewickley reunited with his daughter on Tuesday after being released from ICE custody. Bruno Guedes da Silva was released on bond this week by an immigration judge after he was detained by ICE agents in February during a traffic stop on Beaver Street in Sewickley while he and his wife were driving to work.  Online court documents also show that the man from Brazil was wanted for a felony warrant for charges that were related to making a false written statement so he could obtain a firearm in McCandless. His criminal defense lawyer Thomas N. Farrell claimed that authorities alleged this happened in July of 2024. Guedes da Silva gave a big hug to his daughter who is battling cancer in her second fight against Hodgin’s lymphoma at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

(Pittsburgh, PA) A new push is underway to convert the old terminal building at the Pittsburgh International Airport into a film studio. The old terminal was shuttered last fall as the airport opened its new landside terminal worth $1.7 billion and now the Pittsburgh Film Office is pushing to convert the building into a filming location. The film office’s proposal has been dubbed “Terminal P” and is complete with a new website with several officials included in the push to turn the old facility into a location that could attract Hollywood. The proposed redesign of the terminal would convert the space into a 440,000 square-foot production location with 60-foot ceilings, according to the Terminal P website. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is among those included who recorded statements as part of the push to convert the airport space, saying that he’s thrilled to invite filmmakers, producers and creatives to choose Pittsburgh’s brand new production facility for their next project.
