His mother was murdered when he was 3 years old, and then, four years later, his father, an auto-plant worker, committed suicide. After being primarily raised by a grandmother, Pugh got a ticket out of Detroit with a scholarship to the University of Missouri's journalism school. He then built a successful television-reporting career in Indiana and Virginia before joining the local Detroit Fox News affiliate...
