James also had an active warrant out of Pittsburgh for strangulation in connection with a domestic violence case on July 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office said detectives had recently learned that James was inside a home on Wynoka Street in Pittsburgh&#8217;s Carrick neighborhood. When detectives got there on Thursday, the sheriff&#8217;s office said they were given permission to search a first-floor apartment but couldn&#8217;t find him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Detectives then went to a common area in the basement and said they noticed an arm &#8220;protruding&#8221; from beneath a TV set. After commanding the person to show themselves, the sheriff&#8217;s office said James complied and was arrested without incident. He was taken to the Allegheny County Jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>James had also been wanted in January this year on probation violations, which was his first bench warrant of the year. The sheriff&#8217;s office said when detectives went to a home on Hubbard Street, they found James hiding in the attic, completely covered in insulation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Pittsburgh fugitive who was once found in an attic\u00a0was arrested again after authorities said he was found&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[894,73,75,74],"class_list":["post-251582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-allegheny-county","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
