Man who drove into FBI building has hearing
PITTSBURGH — A man accused of ramming his dump truck through the security gate at the FBI building in Pittsburgh was to appear in state court on related charges.
Forty-eight-year-old Thomas Richard Ross, of New Waterford, Ohio, also faces a federal charge in the July 26 incident, but a court date hasn’t been set.
Today, Ross faces a hearing to determine whether he’ll stand trial on charges including aggravated assault and criminal trespass.
Pittsburgh police cited Ross for allegedly running eight red lights and driving recklessly during a traffic stop near the FBI building that morning.
Ross allegedly claimed to have a bomb before speeding off and through the gate and was injured. No bomb was found and nobody else was hurt.
Ross doesn’t have an attorney listed in court documents.
