Attorney Couldn’t “Keep His Pants On”

PITTSBURGH, PA – Typically, when Deputies are contacted to approach the magnetometers at the court facilities it involves a weapon, such as a knife or a firearm, not a half-naked man.  Wednesday afternoon around 1:00 p.m., authorities say attorney Jeffrey Pollock, 59, arrived at the Family Division Complex in Pittsburgh for a hearing. Pollock attempted to go through the magnetometers, but he kept alerting the machine when walking through. He explained that his suspenders were the cause of the alert and that he could not take them off. Building Guards continued to ask him to walk through until the alerts stopped. After a heated discussion with the guards, Pollock unhooked his suspenders, dropped his drawers, took them off, and placed them in the bin to go through the metal detector. At this point, Pollock was standing in the middle of the Family Division Rotunda wearing only his shirt and underwear.  Sheriff’s Deputies were notified of this unusual behavior and took Pollock into custody.  Pollock, who resides in Squirrel Hill, was released and charged with disorderly conduct for his gesture.  The Sheriff’s Office would like to forewarn anyone who attends the Family Court Division that visible underwear is not part of the dress code.
