PITTSBURGH -- Two fans at the Steelers-Bengals game who were considered armed and dangerous by the FBI were arrested Sunday night at Heinz Field.

Federal agents said Kevin James Dixon and Patience D. Isaacs were wanted for their alleged involvement in a cash advance scheme that started in Montana and stretched across several states.

"We got information late Saturday afternoon that they would be going to the Steelers game the next night," FBI spokesman Bill Crowley said. "In close coordination with the Steelers' security department, as well as the Allegheny County Sheriff's office, we actually knew which seats they were sitting in, and we had agents, deputies and security personnel waiting for them. When they arrived with their beer and nachos, we arrested them without incident."

Isaacs, 21, and Dixon, 37, worked a plan to get personal information from credit and debit cards so they could get illegal cash advances, the FBI said.

Dixon is a convicted felon and has been known to carry a handgun, so authorities said they treated him and Isaacs as if they were armed and dangerous.

Both are being held at the Allegheny County Jail. After being arraigned, they will be sent to Montana to face charges, the FBI said.
