PITTSBURGH — A man is in custody after he barricaded inside a high-rise apartment building in Pittsburgh’s Manchester neighborhood.
Pittsburgh Public Safety officials told Channel 11 that SWAT teams were called to Hamlin Street at around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday to assist U.S. Marshals, who were serving a warrant for parole violation.
The suspect, Michael Allen Bailey, was barricaded on the seventh floor. He originally came to the door when U.S. Marshals arrived, but then barricaded himself inside, officials said.
There was a caregiver inside the apartment with Bailey but they were removed when SWAT arrived.
Bailey was taken into custody at around 4 p.m. He was checked by medics because gas was deployed and will be extradited to Butler County.
