PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh man was arrested Friday along with his girlfriend, who authorities say tried to hinder his apprehension.
The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office says Dereck Reeves, 23, has been a fugitive since December. They say he has bench warrants for probation violations on three cases involving drugs, firearms and an escape charge. He has another bench warrant for failing to appear in court and an arrest warrant out of Pittsburgh for indecent assault.
Detectives say they learned this week that Reeves was staying with his current girlfriend, Chanelle Ollison, at an apartment on 5th Avenue.
On Friday, they were surveilling the building and saw Ollison leave the apartment. Detectives stopped Ollison and asked her if she knew where Reeves was. She reportedly told them she didn’t and that no one was in her apartment because the heat wasn’t working. When asked if detectives could search her apartment, she refused.
Detectives applied for a search warrant but while waiting, they saw Reeves in a second floor window of the apartment. They then made entry and arrested him without incident.
Both Reeves and Ollison were taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
