PITTSBURGH, PA – An attorney in Allegheny County is in hot water after dropping his pants inside of the courthouse.

Deputies from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office were called into the courthouse to assist court security at the metal detectors. When deputies arrived, they learned they were summoned because of an attorney who had removed his pants in the Family Division Complex.

Apparently, the attorney, identified as Jeffrey Pollock, had been attempting to gain access into the courthouse to attend a hearing on November 10^th. The problem was that there was something that Pollock had on his person that kept setting off the metal detector.

Of course, when this happens, security is instructed to not allow that person to enter the courthouse until they can verify that the person is not a security risk. When security attempted to explain this to Pollock, he allegedly told them that it was his suspenders that were causing the issue…and he did not want to take them off. The Allegheny Country Sherriff’s Office released the following in part:

“Building Guards continued to ask him to walk through [the metal detector] 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.”

Thankfully, Pollock was at least wearing underwear when this happened. The deputies arrived in the Family Division Rotunda and took him into custody for disorderly conduct.

Pollock appeared to be only in custody for a ‘brief” period of time until he was released. Pollock spoke to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review after his arrest. He said:

“I used poor judgment. I was trying to make a point.”

Poor judgment indeed. One would think that a lawyer, of all people, would realize that removing pants in public, much less, family court, would not be a great idea. The Sheriff’s Office said:

“Pollock, who resides in Squirrel Hill, was released and charged with disorderly conduct for his gesture this afternoon. 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.”

In another case of a lawyer knowing better, a Texas lawyer was arrested on November 5^th for solicitation of a prostitute. In that case, police report that the lawyer, Phillip Wayne Hayes, began attempting to solicit a prostitute on what police are calling a known website linked to the illicit act as well as human trafficking.

Police allege that Hayes began communicating with what he thought was a prostitute, but was actually an undercover police detective trying to stop prostitution and human trafficking. For just over two hours, Hayes texted back and forth with the undercover officer and finally asked the detective for sexual favors in exchange for $110.

Once the undercover detective ‘agreed’ to the terms allegedly presented by Hayes, he drove to an agreed-upon location in hopes of meeting with the prostitute. Instead, Hayes was met in his 2020 Land Rover Defender by police officers who took him into custody.

Hayes is the defense attorney that is representing accused serial killer Billy Chemirmir who has been indicted on 18 different murders in the state. The judge in the case, Rocky Jones, stated that he does not believe Hayes’ arrest will cause any type of delay with the trial as he has two more attorneys.
