(Beaver County, PA) A district judge acquitted a woman who was charged with disorderly conduct after an altercation occurred in Cranberry Township, where she reported being punched in the mouth by a local contractor.
Charles Little is the contractor who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and he is now facing additional charges that are connected to separate driving incidents.
Whitney Hughley came forward with details of the confrontation that happened in February of this year after noticing a social media video of a truck that carried the same company logo trying to force motorcycles off a road in Beaver County.
Hughley was driving to a bookstore in Cranberry Township when a white pickup truck that beared a company logo came speeding up behind her in the turning lane.
According to Hughley, the driver maneuvered aggressively alongside her vehicle before both drivers pulled into a nearby parking lot.
After she parked near a bookstore, Hughley confirmed that the driver parked near a bank and rapidly approached her.
Hughley admitted that she pushed the man away after he entered her personal space, and at that point, he punched her in the mouth.
Cranberry Township Police initially cited both Little and Hughley for disorderly conduct, engaging in fighting.
However, a district judge acquitted Hughley, reprimanded the citing officer and expunged Hughley’s record.
WPXI’s 11 Investigates reported that Little, the owner of C.E. Little Contracting, has accumulated at least 24 traffic convictions over the past five years.

(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) is letting the public know that enhanced aviation safety and security measures will be in place during the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns that is scheduled for this Sunday in Pittsburgh at 1 P.M. at Acrisure Stadium.
A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) will be in effect in the vicinity of the stadium located at 100 Art Rooney Avenue as part of the security measures for this event.
Drones are prohibited from operating within the restricted airspace during the TFR’s effective period, which will become effective at 12 noon and will finish one hour after the end of the game.
Any unauthorized drone that is detected within the restricted airspace will prompt an immediate response from law enforcement.
This has happened at some past Steelers home games this season, like their home game against the Colts on October 11th.

(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium will be transitioning to its off-season hours, which will be in effect through March 31st, 2027.
Representatives from the zoo are reminding visitors that the zoo opens at 9:30 a.m. for every guest, the front gates close at 3 p.m. and the zoo closes at 4 p.m. starting on April 1st, 2027.
Early member entry will also resume at 9 a.m. on April 1st, 2027.
(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) will implement the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) that is aimed at protecting domestic violence survivors from life-threatening abuse.
LAP is an initiative that is evidence-based.
It is designed to help law enforcement identify victims of domestic violence who may be at heightened risk of death and to connect them with lifesaving support.
The PSP has developed training that is based on the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s (PCADV) LAP model which will enable troopers who respond to qualifying domestic violence incidents to use a standardized lethality screening process to identify factors that are associated with increased risk of homicide.
Troopers can facilitate an immediate connection with a local domestic violence advocate or hotline when an individual is identified as being at elevated risk.
That connection allows the victim to receive advocacy, safety planning, shelter referrals and other services that are available.
(Beaver County, PA) PennDOT District 11 announced that the lane closure on westbound I-376 (Beaver Valley Expressway) in Potter and Vanport townships has been extended.
Traffic on westbound I-376 will continue to be reduced to a single-lane around-the-clock through late November between the Monaca/Shippingport (Exit 39) interchange and Beaver (Exit 38B) exit and along the Vanport Bridge.
Crews will continue both operations to steel repairs and painting operations.
Eastbound restrictions are expected to keep going through late December and then resume in the spring of 2027.

(Beaver County, PA) The PIAA made a ruling yesterday that Beaver Area High School senior quarterback Jaivin Peel is ineligible for the 2026 postseason.
This was recently confirmed by Beaver Area athletic director Kevin Krzeczowski.
This comes after months of appeals and hearings occurred regarding Peel, who transferred from Western Beaver.
The WPIAL granted Peel partial eligibility on July 28th, which allowed him to compete in the regular season, but deemed him ineligible for competition in the postseason.
Peel appealed this postseason eligibility with the WPIAL.
However, it was not approved.
Student-athletes who transfer after the beginning their sophomore year are restricted from playing in the district or state postseason for one year under PIAA guidelines.
Beaver Area will finish the regular season at 7 p.m. tonight on the road against Ellwood City at Helling Stadium.
