Steelers linebacker Harrison charged with assault
Saturday, March 08, 2008
By Jim McKinnon, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison was arrested earlier today on charges that he assaulted his girlfriend in Ohio Township.
Mr. Harrison, 29, of Franklin Park, was arraigned tonight on charges of simple assault and criminal mischief.
Ohio Township police said the woman, Beth Tibbott, who turns 30 on Monday, called police after Mr. Harrison had assaulted her.
According to the affidavit filed in support of the arrest, Ms. Tibbott and the pro-football player were arguing at her Sonie Drive residence just before 1 p.m. when she locked herself inside a bedroom.
Mr. Harrison broke down the door and, while she was trying to call 911, he took her cell phone and broke it in half, according to the affidavit.
Ms. Tibbott said he then hit her with an open hand in the face, knocking off her glasses. Township police said her left cheek showed "red marks."
Mr. Harrison left the house driving a tan Hummer and a few minutes later Franklin Park police pulled him over as he was headed to his home on Matterhorn Road.
Police brought him back to the scene, where police said he corroborated what Ms. Tibbott had reported to authorities, the affidavit said.
Mr. Harrison was arraigned in Night Court and released on his own recognizance pending a preliminary hearing Thursday at 8:30 a.m. before District Judge Tara L. Smith.
