Kenny Pickett’s car stolen in the middle of a radio interview, police arrest suspect

Pittsburgh Steelers second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett had his car stolen while conducting an interview with a Pittsburgh radio station this week.

Pickett was at a local Chevrolet dealership in the Pittsburgh suburb of Monroeville for an interview Wednesday with 93.7 The Fan, according to WPXI.

Shortly after the 24-year-old quarterback discovered his 2023 Genesis SUV was missing, police reviewed security footage as they searched for the vehicle. Authorities eventually recovered the car and arrested 60-year-old Christopher Carter in connection with the theft.

Carter was charged with theft for illegally taking and receiving stolen property.

Both acts are considered felonies in Pennsylvania. Carter also faces a misdemeanor charge for unauthorized use of a car.
