Pittsburgh, Pa. – A Pittsburgh man wanted for five months was taken into custody Saturday, ending a search tied to multiple firearms-related bench warrants.
According to the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, 31-year-old Travel Dean was declared a fugitive in September 2025 after a bench warrant was issued for failing to appear for trial on a firearms charge. Authorities said a second bench warrant was later issued when Dean allegedly failed to appear for formal arraignment in a separate firearms case.
Officials also confirmed Dean had an active warrant for escape after allegedly failing to return to Renewal after receiving permission to meet with his attorney.
Detectives developed information this week indicating Dean was inside an apartment along Coursin Street in McKeesport. Deputies arrived shortly before 10 a.m. Saturday and reported hearing movement inside after knocking on the door. Authorities said detectives entered the apartment and located Dean hiding underneath a bed.
Dean was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Allegheny County Jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
Court records show the bench warrants stem from missed court appearances connected to pending firearms charges.
The arrest closes a five-month search and resolves multiple active warrants, a development that may be relevant to students and young adults navigating firearm-related legal requirements.
