A Jeanette man claims that he was detained by Westmoreland County Sheriffs in error late last week. The Trib reports that 57-year-old Larry Miller, Jr. said that he was jailed for hours on a warrant that was issued for another man in Schuylkill County across the state. Miller was reportedly released after he was in jail for about three hours. Sheriff James Albert said Wednesday that an investigation is ongoing. Miller says he is seeking a lawyer for a potential lawsuit against the county.
