A Pittsburgh radio reporter was arrested Monday morning after authorities said he tried to bring a loaded pistol into the Allegheny County Courthouse.

William Robert Milford, 53, of Castle Shannon — known on KDKA Radio as Rob Milford — was charged with carrying a firearm without a license and possessing a firearm in a court facility, county Sheriff Bill Mullen said.

Milford had the loaded .38-caliber revolver in his briefcase about 9:30 a.m. when he tried to pass through a courthouse entrance protected by a metal detector and security guard, Mullen said. The gun was confiscated and sheriff’s deputies arrested Milford.

Milford told officers he forgot the gun was in the briefcase, Mullen said. It remained unclear why he was carrying the weapon.
