APD Arrest Pittsburgh Man For Allegedly Selling Meth In City

A 38-year-old Pittsburgh man is in custody after undercover narcotics investigators caught him attempting to sell methamphetamine in downtown Altoona, and that’s according to the Altoona Police Department. The investigation began yesterday when officers texted the suspect, identified as Artimus Sergio Nowlin, to inquire about purchasing drugs. Police said Nowlin responded and agreed over the phone to sell $80 worth of methamphetamine—referring to the substance as “ice cream.” He allegedly instructed the undercover officers to meet him at the downtown bus station. Following his apprehension, Nowlin admitted to the transaction, and was found to have been recently evicted from a local family shelter where he was temporarily residing. Nowlin faces multiple offenses, including possession with intent to deliver, and criminal use of a communications facility. He is currently being held in the Blair County Prison in lieu of $20,000 bail. (Above photo provided by Altoona Police.)

Social media reacts to FSU's 16-10 win over Pittsburgh

For the second time in seven days, the Florida State Seminoles have won a road game. FSU beat the Pittsburgh Panthers 16-10 on Friday night in Acrisure Stadium, improving to 2-0 under interim head coach Rick Stickstoll. Ernie Sims continues to elevate the defense, which once again ended the game with a turnover on downs. FSU improved to 5-5 with the win and is one win away from making a bowl game for the first time since 2023. The Seminoles had to work to beat the Panthers, who outgained them 306-260. Pittsburgh was unable to overcome its own mistakes, committing seven penalties for 70 yards, turning it over once, and going 6-19 on third and fourth down. FSU's defense was able to capitalize on the miscues, holding them to just 4.3 yards per play and giving up set three points in the second half. The win had FSU fans fired up, with them flocking to social media to celebrate back-to-back road wins and praising the work Stockstill and Sims have done since taking over. Here is a look at how FSU fans reacted to the win. FSU beats Pittsburgh Bringing home a W from the Steel City! #NoleFamily pic.twitter.com/scDhtIJg2h —

Is it Legal? Pittsburgh limits how many dogs and cats you can keep

Pittsburghers with a house full of furry friends may want to count how many paws are under their roof. City law generally prohibits a person from owning, harboring or maintaining more than five dogs or cats, or any combination of the two, within Pittsburgh. That means a household could have five dogs, five cats or a mix such as three cats and two dogs. A sixth dog or cat would generally put the household over the limit. The restriction applies specifically to dogs and cats, making descriptions of the ordinance as a broad “five-pet limit” potentially misleading. Pittsburgh Animal Care and Control provides information for pet owners and the city's requirements at pittsburghpa.gov . When Pittsburgh allows more than five dogs or cats The city provides exceptions to the five-animal limit. Residents who foster dogs or cats and help place them in permanent homes can keep more than five if they obtain an exemption permit from Pittsburgh Animal Care and Control. Permitted kennels and catteries also are exempt from the limit. The exception extends to kennels registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Sign up: Don’t wait for tomorrow.
