MCKEESPORT, Pa. \u2014 Allegheny County Sheriff\u2019s detectives arrested a woman who had been a fugitive for nearly three years alongside a second wanted man on Jersey Street in McKeesport. <\/p>\n
Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus announced the arrests after authorities also recovered two handguns and over a half-pound of suspected marijuana at the home.<\/p>\n
Detectives went to the residence to locate 45-year-old Leah Saluga, who opened the door and was arrested. During a subsequent safety check of the residence, officers located and arrested 22-year-old Terron Porterfield.<\/p>\n
Saluga had been a fugitive since September 2023. She was wanted on two bench warrants after failing to appear for sentencing on a driving under the influence case and missing a court hearing on a separate drug possession case.<\/p>\n
Porterfield was wanted on a bench warrant issued last month for a probation violation linked to a 2025 guilty plea on a gun charge. He also had an active arrest warrant out of West Mifflin for fleeing a police officer.<\/p>\n
While making the arrests, detectives observed indications of weapons and suspected marijuana inside the residence. Authorities then applied for and received a search warrant, recovering two handguns\u2014including a .45-caliber Glock 21\u2014and just over a half-pound of suspected marijuana.<\/p>\n
Both Saluga and Porterfield were transported to the Allegheny County Jail on their existing warrants. Porterfield faces additional gun and drug charges resulting from the search.<\/p>\n
