Man whose son killed K-9 arrested again

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh-area man accused of fighting with police before his son fatally stabbed a K-9 and was killed by officers has been arrested again.

Police say Bruce Kelley Sr. was arrested around 7 p.m. Sunday after an officer spotted him on a busway platform. A judge last week ordered him to remain off Port Authority property.

The 60-year-old is in jail facing charges including possessing a prohibited weapon.

A district judge on Thursday threw out one of two aggravated assault charges that Kelley Sr. faced for the fracas on Jan. 31.
