Police: Man, 19, posing as intern stole legal files from downtown law firm

PITTSBURGH — Authorities say a 19-year-old man was arrested at the Allegheny County Courthouse after posing as an intern and being found in possession of court documents.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports 19-year-old Monroeville resident Josh Aaron Dowell-Miller was stopped by sheriff's deputies Wednesday. Officials say he had several files from a downtown law firm on him and that he said he was an intern there.

The law firm says he wasn't an intern there. Police say he had visited the firm under false pretenses and had to be escorted from the building.

Police say the files were for civil cases.

Dowell-Miller is being charged with theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney and a telephone listing for him couldn't immediately be found.
