Walsh would not provide details on the underlying charges or the incident that led to the charges, but said several law enforcement agencies were involved in the arrests.
They include sheriff’s deputies and district attorney’s detectives; the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; three SWAT teams — Washington Regional, Westmoreland and Pittsburgh; and officers from West Virginia.
