A man wanted on multiple warrants was taken into custody after police said he was found hiding in the attic of a home in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Detectives arrived on Friday and conducted a search of the home. As officials were prepared to leave, the office said in a release, officials noticed an attic access opening in the ceiling. Detectives used a ladder to reach the opening, and when they looked inside, they immediately saw what “appeared to be hair braids sticking out of the installation.”Officials said they ordered James, who was covered by the installation, out of the attic.
