MCKEESPORT, PA — A Pittsburgh man who had been on the run for five months was arrested Saturday morning after being found hiding under a bed in an apartment.
Travell Dean, 31, of Pittsburgh, was taken into custody without incident by Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office detectives.
Dean was declared a fugitive in September after a bench warrant was issued for his failure to appear for trial on a firearms charge.
A second bench warrant was issued two months later when Dean failed to appear for formal arraignment on a separate case involving firearms charges.
Dean also has an active warrant for escape for failing to return to Renewal after receiving permission to meet with his attorney.
Detectives developed information this week that Dean was inside an apartment along Coursin Street in McKeesport.
Detectives arrived at the apartment just before 10 a.m. Saturday and heard movement inside after knocking on the door.
Detectives gained entry into the apartment and during a search discovered Dean hiding underneath a bed.
Dean was transported to the Allegheny County Jail.
