Fugitive Apprehended In Brookline

BROOKLINE, PA — A Penn Hills man on the run since January was taken into custody in Brookline Wednesday, Allegheny County Sheriff Kevin Kraus announced.

Sofion Moore, 32, had been a fugitive since bench warrants were issued in January. One warrant involves his failure to show for a status conference on a case involving firearms charges; another is for a probation violation on a case involving burglary. Additionally, Moore also has an active warrant for an escape charge after walking away from Renewal Inc. last December.

Sheriff's office detectives began developing information on Moore’s movements last week and tracked him down to a residence on Bellaire Place. When detectives arrived there, they found Moore hiding underneath a dining room table.

Moore was arrested without incident and transported to the Allegheny County Jail.
