3 out-of-state men sneak into Heinz Field

Monday, May 24, 2010

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police are trying to reconcile two stories given by three men arrested for trespassing at Heinz Field.

Police say the out-of-state men told them they sneaked into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ home stadium Sunday morning because one of them had lost a wallet.

But one of the men, Neville Medhora, of Austin, Texas, tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review the men had attended a wedding there the night before and weren’t allowed on the football field. He says the men sneaked in the next morning so they go on the field to take some pictures.

A Pittsburgh police spokeswoman says a police report does not reflect that the men told police anything about the wedding or taking pictures, only that one of them had lost a wallet.

The men are due in city court on Thursday.
