    Two men are facing a total of over 100 felony charges after investigators said they illegally transferred the deeds of dozens of properties in Allegheny County without the owners knowing. The Allegheny County District Attorney's Office said 45-year-old William Schneider used counterfeit notary stamps bought on Amazon to submit fraudulent deed transfers for 43 separate properties. Investigators said 57-year-old William Petruskie helped by creating an LLC to be listed on 10 of the forged property deeds. The district attorney's office said Schneider's fake deed transfer submissions shared several things in common. For one, investigators said all of them were sent...

    Jerry Lynn, the homeowner, told a local news station that the clock’s presence in the wall is his fault, but that he never dreamed he would still be dealing with the issue well over a decade later.

He set the alarm for ten minutes, then sent the clock down into the gap between the walls, hoping that listening for the chime would allow him to pinpoint...

    According to State Police troopers, the Deshongs seriously damaged a 2006 Ford Fusion, which had its windshield and windows either cracked or broken, was covered with dents, and had blood on the front passenger seat. The car’s hood was also open and various hoses had been disconnected. As for the flaming tampons, a probable cause affidavit notes that investigators “discovered that the gas cap was removed and tampons were used to possibly ignite the gas tank." Additionally, “Tampon was used in the engine compartment where the oil fill cap is located.” Since “ashes were at the gas cap area and...

    PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Police have flagged a man for an illegal quarterback sneak. Authorities said Brian Jackson, 31, dated two women by pretending to be Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Brian St. Pierre. Jackson, arrested Friday, was charged with harassment for allegedly continuing to contact both women after they learned of the ruses. He was also charged with criminal mischief for allegedly ruining a Steelers jersey owned by one of the women's neighbors when he signed his worthless rendition of Roethlisberger's autograph on it. The jersey was worth $75 before it was signed, police said.
