In the “this is why we can’t have nice things” category Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter was arrested on Sunday night on the South Side on a myriad of charges. According to the PPG Porter was arraigned early Monday morning on charges of assault, resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct.
Porter posted a $25,000 bond and was released. The charges stemmed from an incident at a South Side bar on Sunday night. The criminal complaint describes Porter as threatening a doorman at The Flats bar on E. Carson Street.
Eyewitnesses say that they heard Porter saying that he didn’t do anything and accused the officers of lying when he was handcuffed.
