TRENDING NOW:

Deputies tracked the pair to Awkward’s boyfriend’s apartment, which the department said was odd, because Awkward's boyfriend had filed a protection from abuse order against her. Deputies arrested Diggs for the sex offender warrants and Awkward for allegedly violating the PFA.

Deputies learned Diggs, who had given a false address to state police when registering, was staying in Mt. Oliver with his sister, Cheryl Awkward.

Both are currently housed in the Allegheny County Jail.
