Allegheny County, PA – A man wanted by the Commonwealth of Virginia for violating probation on a manslaughter conviction was arrested Thursday morning in Allegheny County, authorities announced.
According to Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus, 37-year-old Joshua Fitzpatrick was taken into custody at an extended-stay hotel in North Fayette Township shortly before 6:30 a.m. Deputies said the arrest occurred without incident.
Fitzpatrick had previously been convicted in Virginia for aggravated involuntary manslaughter. As part of his suspended sentence, probation was transferred to Horry County, South Carolina, for work purposes, and he was later permitted to travel to Pennsylvania.
Investigators said they were notified this week by the South Carolina probation office that Fitzpatrick was in violation of his suspended sentence agreement. Detectives from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office located him at the hotel and arrested him early Thursday.
Fitzpatrick has since been transported to the Allegheny County Jail, where he will await extradition back to Virginia, officials confirmed.
