PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Police say a Squirrel Hill man who claimed to be the victim of a crime, has now been arrested himself.
In a criminal complaint Pittsburgh police say Isaac Cameron, 21, was arrested early Friday morning when they saw him speeding, and not making a complete stop.
When they stopped him they smelled a strong odor or marijuana, and found a loaded .45 caliber pistol as well as a golf-ball sized baggie of marijuana.
Police say Cameron does not have a license to carry a gun.
Just Wednesday, Cameron said he had more than $113,000 worth of jewelry and other items stolen from his home, including a laptop computer with "rap beats" on it.
Cameron said he makes the beats for famous musicians, including rapper Wiz Khalifa.
