Allegheny County Fire Incident Leads to Arrest
**Turtle Creek, PA** – County police have filed charges following a fire incident in Turtle Creek. On Tuesday, Allegheny County 9-1-1 dispatched the Turtle Creek Fire Department to the 900 block of Lynn Avenue due to a reported fire. The building, an apartment complex, was housing five individuals at the time. No injuries were reported.
The Allegheny County Police Department’s General Investigations Unit, along with the Allegheny County Fire Marshal’s Office, started an investigation.

Turtle Creek Man Captured for Probation Violation
**Pittsburgh, PA** – A Turtle Creek man, Ramon Whitley, has been apprehended on a bench warrant for probation violation, according to an announcement by Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus.
Whitley, 28, had been a fugitive since May following the issuance of a warrant related to a 2021 guilty plea. The charges stemmed from a minor traffic accident in Penn Hills, witnessed by two Allegheny County Police detectives. During the subsequent pursuit, Whitley allegedly pointed a gun at the detectives before his initial arrest.
Recent information led detectives to believe Whitley was residing with his child’s mother in McKeesport. On Tuesday morning, as detectives approached, Whitley attempted to flee via a back door. He was subsequently captured without further incident and taken to Allegheny County Jail.
