PITTSBURGH — A Duquesne man who’d been on the run from police since April was arrested in West Virginia
Anthony Kraus, 20, was arrested in Jane Lew, W.Va., according to the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office.
Kraus had been on the run since a bench warrant was issued for his failure to appear in court for drug charges. A second warrant was issued in May when he missed a pre-trial hearing for a firearms charge.
Detectives had pursued several leads regarding Kraus’s whereabouts, searching multiple locations in Allegheny County over the past three months.
This week, officials say, detectives learned that Kraus was in Harrison County, W.Va., about 20 miles south of Clarksburg, W.Va. They went to Kraus’s suspected location on Thursday and arrested him without incident, being aided by several other agencies.
During the arrest, authorities discovered over a pound of suspected drugs, including fentanyl, methamphetamine, and crack cocaine at the residence.
Kraus is currently being held at the North Central Regional Jail in Clarksburg, where he faces new charges before his extradition back to Allegheny County.
