WPTZ Plattsburgh-Burlington
An arrest has been made in the reported theft of an SUV belonging to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. A Steelers playbook in the vehicle has also been recovered.
Sister station WTAE obtained the court paperwork for a man who was arrested in Wednesday's theft. Pickett had been participating in an event at a Pittsburgh-area car dealership when the SUV, a 2023 Genesis, was stolen.
Police were able to identify 60-year-old Christopher Carter as the suspect by running the plates on the suspect's personal vehicle, which he had left at the dealership after stealing Pickett's vehicle.
Carter then allegedly got into Pickett's vehicle and drove it home.
Gary Legler, a neighbor of the suspect, said Pickett's vehicle was sitting near the suspect's house, and a dealership sent somebody down to pick up the SUV.
Legler says the representative then told police, "'Oh, the car was just sitting there, and he (the suspect) took it. And the owner has a book in the back, just personal information.' And come to find out, it's Kenny Pickett’s car. It’s the Steelers playbook on the backseat."
The Steelers confirmed that a playbook was left in the stolen SUV. That playbook has since been recovered.
Carter is charged with theft, receiving stolen property and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to the criminal complaint.
