(Westmoreland County, PA) A man from the Pittsburgh area is now facing charges after police confirm he brought a large knife to his former workplace in Westmoreland County and told an employee that he had “murder on his mind all week.” According to the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office, Roneil Wright is accused of entering the building on Commerce Circle in Trafford in the evening hours of last Thursday with a “large, military-style knife.” Workers told police that Wright, who hadn’t been employed at the company since November and had no reason to be in the building, made statements about “who he needs to take care of,” and employees grew worried. Wright is facing several charges, including criminal trespass. The Westmoreland District attorney’s office stated Wright was remanded to the Westmoreland County Prison after failing to post a bond of $50,000. Court documents expressed that the preliminary hearing for Wright is scheduled for December 23rd, 2025.
