Morris was under probation after pleading guilty to recklessly endangering another person, robbery of a motor vehicle, theft and simple assault.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Detectives received information saying Morris frequents the area of Cedar Avenue and East Ohio Street in the Northside. Pittsburgh Police and detectives with the sheriff\u2019s office found Morris in Allegheny Commons Park, where he was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/news\/local\/man-carjacked-woman-led-officers-chase-through-multiple-pittsburgh-neighborhoods-police-say\/ZK3YBXDDHNGH5KKC3XNNI4GVE4\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/news\/local\/man-carjacked-woman-led-officers-chase-through-multiple-pittsburgh-neighborhoods-police-say\/ZK3YBXDDHNGH5KKC3XNNI4GVE4\/\">Channel 11 reported on Morris in 2024, <\/a>when police say he carjacked someone near Middle and East Ohio streets in the Northside. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Morris was charged with using that stolen car to lead police on a chase on I-279 before heading back into the city, into Oakland and then to the Strip District. The chase was terminated for safety reasons, but police later used OnStar to track Morris down. He was arrested in the North Side at that time too. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/news\/local\/onstar-technology-put-an-end-chase-through-multiple-pittsburgh-neighborhoods-heres-how-it-works\/HFVMN3WINFHINC2CYCM6ODW2XY\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/news\/local\/onstar-technology-put-an-end-chase-through-multiple-pittsburgh-neighborhoods-heres-how-it-works\/HFVMN3WINFHINC2CYCM6ODW2XY\/\">PREVIOUS COVERAGE &gt;&gt;&gt; OnStar technology put an end to chase through multiple Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
