Former Pittsburgh News Anchor Arrested

Don Cannon arrested in California for failure to serve PA DUI sentences.




Former Pittsburgh news anchor Don Cannon was arrested in Southern California on November 17 for failure to serve Pennsylvania drunk driving sentences. Cannon, 69, was arrested on a bench warrant issued by Allegheny County in association with two incidents of driving under the influence in western Pennsylvania.

Cannon was supposed to begin serving house arrest and probation for PA DUI last month. He moved to Carlsbad California after pleading guilty to drunk driving in Pennsylvania in 2008. The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department also learned that Cannon had been arrested for DUI in California.

Cannon, whose real name is Donald Clark, worked for WTAE-TV and KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh. He is being held in the San Diego County jail pending extradition to Pennsylvania. Cannon’s DUI defense lawyer has been in communication with the Allegheny County judge assigned to the case.

Whenever it comes to celebrities or near celebrities, people always rush to a judgment. Everyone always declares how there should be no preferential treatment and total transparency. I think that we all should not rush to judgment and instead let the facts rule out in this case. Being simply accused of a crime is not proof of anything. It is high time that we give people, especially celebrities, the benefit of the doubt and apply that good old fashioned presumption of innocence.
