Man charged after dozens of vehicles caught drag racing in Pittsburgh parking lot
A man is facing charges after police said they found drugs and a stolen gun in his car after breaking up a large gathering of drag racers in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood.
Pittsburgh police said officers were sent to the 200 block of 48th Street for reports of cars drag racing in a business parking lot on March 14. Once they got there, police said they found about 50 to 60 vehicles “engaged in various illegal activities,” including street racing, reckless driving and trespassing.
When officers turned on their lights and sirens, police said everyone ran to their cars and left. Police said they pulled over one vehicle that had sped off towards a large grass field in an attempt to get away.
While speaking to the driver, 23-year-old William Bey, police said they learned he had an expired driver’s license and registration. Before Bey’s car was towed, police said they conducted an inventory search to make sure any valuables inside were documented.
After finding a large bag of marijuana under the driver’s seat, police said they applied for a search warrant and found several other items, including a stolen firearm.
Bey was charged with receiving stolen property, persons not to possess, prohibited acts and vehicle violations.
The Allegheny County Police Department announced charges against four people after a drug bust earlier this week in Braddock.
On Thursday, the county police’s violent crime and firearms unit, along with the SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on Corey Avenue.
When they entered, they found two adult men, an adult woman, and one boy inside. They were all taken into custody.
Following a search of the home, detectives found a loaded handgun, five bricks of suspected fentanyl, multiple handgun magazines, and firearm accessories.
All four of the people in the home are now facing charges in connection with the investigation.
Among them is 24-year-old Jawan Coachman, who is being charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and tampering with evidence. Both 18-year-old Nathaniel Scott and 19-year-old Nakhiya Enoch are facing multiple drug charges and an additional charge related to firearms violations.
Meanwhile, the juvenile had charges filed in juvenile court, and his identity has not been released.

New Head Coach Mike McCarthy inherited a roster with more than a fair share of holes to fill. Perhaps none more so than wide receiver.
Trading for highly productive former Indianapolis Colts draft pick Michael Pittman Jr. to play alongside D.K. Metcalf certainly helped, but third-year receiver Roman Wilson is currently slotted as the team’s wide receiver No. 3 with only 164 career yards. The Steelers can go anywhere with their first-round selection, and if one of the big three receivers falls (Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, or Makai Lemon), don’t count the Steelers out.
The second most pressing need is safety, and the Steelers are in luck. There are at least three safeties with a consensus first-round grade in this year’s class. At 21, Pittsburgh is in a prime position to pick up a day-one starter if they go this route.
With 12 picks, McCarthy will hope to secure at least six starters/role players, and with three picks in the third round, they’ve got the draft capital to do just that.
