Fugitive arrested after police operation in Pine Township

A man with valid arrest warrants was arrested after an hours-long police operation in Pine Township.

Allegheny County Sheriff's officials say 28-year-old James Bernard Lee-Livingston has been on the run since December 2023.

Police say he violated his probation on a drunken driving charge to which he pleaded guilty and had an arrest warrant out of the city of Pittsburgh.

Lee-Livingston was involved in a domestic dispute that prompted a large police presence on Wednesday in the area of ​​Babcock Boulevard near Valencia Borough in Pine Township, where he also lived.

Detectives from the sheriff's office set up surveillance and saw Lee-Livingston approach an Uber driver outside his home in the area around 6:30 p.m.

The police stopped the Uber while it was still in the driveway.

Lee-Livingston exited the vehicle and ran away when he was arrested in a line of trees at the end of his yard.

He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.

Details regarding the domestic situation that led to the initial police response in Pine Township are not available at this time but will be released as soon as they become available.
