Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office Arrests Fugitive After Year-Long Search
**Pittsburgh, PA** – A Pittsburgh man, Allen McCarthy, on the run since March, was arrested on multiple warrants, announced Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus on Thursday.
McCarthy, 42, had a bench warrant issued a year ago for failing to attend a pre-trial conference related to a theft charge.

Additional charges against McCarthy include an escape warrant from the Sheriff’s Office and warrants from Pittsburgh Police for firearm violations and recklessly endangering another person.
This week, detectives pinpointed McCarthy’s location at a residence on McClain Street in Pittsburgh’s Allentown area. Around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, officers approached the residence, encountering several individuals and learning of McCarthy’s presence in an upstairs bedroom.
