No arrests made after Morgantown Police use smoke, PepperBalls to disperse party
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — After a video went viral over the weekend of Morgantown Police appearing to use tear gas on a large crowd celebrating St. Patrick's Day, officers say that no arrests have been made and that nobody was taken to the hospital. On Saturday, March 8 at around 2:40 p.m., Morgantown Police officers responded to a residence on North High Street, a location commonly known to house fraternities, after receiving reports of a 'large party with loud music' which was creating 'noise violations.' Former Steelers offensive lineman turned broadcaster Craig Wolfley dies When officers arrived at the scene, they said they told the person operating the music to turn it off to comply with noise regulations. The music was turned off, but once it was, officers said that the crowd 'became aggressive' and began throwing things at them. At that point, 'in an effort to regain control of the area' officers began to use 'standard crowd dispersal techniques' such as inert smoke and PepperBalls—which are non-lethal projectiles that disperse a chemical similar to the kind found in pepper spray. Once 'order was restored in the area,' officers evaluated bystanders to see if any needed EMS, but none did. No arrests were made at the scene, but officers are investigating the incident to further determine 'if any additional enforcement actions should be taken.' WVU officials also told 12 News that multiple citations were issued against students on Saturday in off-campus areas, including six for open container violations and two for noise violations. The Morgantown Police Department was assisted by teams with the University Police Department. This story has been updated to include additional information from WVU officials.

Craig Wolfley, longtime Steelers offensive lineman, radio broadcaster, dies at 66
Craig Wolfley, a former NFL offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings, has died at the age of 66. He had recently been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer. Wolfley was drafted by the Steelers in the fifth round of the 1980 NFL draft out of Syracuse. He played 10 seasons in Pittsburgh before finishing his career with the Vikings, starting 104 games at left guard and left tackle. Following his 12-year NFL career, Wolfley entered broadcasting and worked as a sideline reporter for the Pittsburgh Steelers before moving into a color commentary role on WDVE-FM radio. "As an offensive lineman, his grit and dedication were essential to our success, contributing to the solid foundation of the Steelers' offensive line in the 1980s and 1990s," said Steelers president Art Rooney II in a statement. "His work ethic and commitment to excellence were felt both in the locker room and on the field, and his leadership was always evident. "Following his retirement from playing, Craig seamlessly transitioned into a broadcaster, providing insightful commentary and analysis as part of the Steelers Radio Network. His passionate voice and deep understanding of the game made him a trusted figure for Steelers fans, and his humor, warmth, and enthusiasm left a lasting impact on our community." Football wasn't Wolfley's only passion. He was also involved in the weight lifting and boxing worlds. He finished in fifth place in the 1981 World's Strongest Man competition and lost a four-round boxing match to Eric "Butterbean" Esch in 2002. Wolfley is survived by his wife Faith, his brother Ron, a former NFL running back, and six children.
