Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter was arrested Sunday night after Pittsburgh's AFC wild-card playoff game win over the Dolphins, according to police.
CBS Pittsburgh reported Porter was handcuffed and placed into a police car outside a Pittsburgh bar called The Flats following an "altercation with a police officer." Bar security guards called police about an “unruly customer” around 9:30 p.m. Sunday night, the report said.
