Pittsburgh, PA – A McKeesport man wanted since July for violating probation tied to earlier gun charges has been arrested and now faces two new firearm charges, authorities announced Wednesday.
According to the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, 25-year-old Donte Harper was wanted after allegedly violating probation from a 2024 conviction involving two gun charges. A bench warrant was issued in July after Harper failed to comply with probation terms.
Detectives located Harper inside an apartment along Brushton Avenue in Pittsburgh last week. While setting up a perimeter, officers spotted a man matching Harper’s description walking near Frankstown and Brushton Avenues.
Deputies moved in and took Harper into custody without incident. During the arrest, detectives allegedly found a firearm in the front pocket of his hoodie and secured the weapon.
Harper was booked into the Allegheny County Jail, where he now faces two additional gun charges linked to the firearm recovered during the arrest. He also remains held on the original probation violation warrant.
