Pittsburgh PA ---- Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus announced today that a McKees Rocks man, declared a fugitive in March, has been taken into custody.
34-year-old Ean Irwin has two active bench warrants for probation violations on two separate cases including a September 2020 case in which he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of endangering the welfare of children and recklessly endangering another person. In that case, Irwinâs SUV collided with another vehicle along Frankstown Avenue. Irwinâs two children, ages two and four, and both unrestrained, were in the vehicle at the time and following the accident, Irwin fled with one of the children while leaving the other behind. Both children ended up being treated for significant injuries following the crash and Irwin was subsequently arrested six months later and pleaded guilty in December 2021.
Additionally, McKees Rocks has an active warrant for Irwin connected to several domestic related charges filed in March of this year.
Detectives from our office have been searching for Irwin since the bench warrants were issued, checking multiple addresses over the past few weeks as well as alerting deputies to areas that Irwin is known to frequent.
Earlier today, a deputy on routine patrol spotted Irwin vacuuming his vehicle at a location on the South Side. The deputy immediately called for backup and while waiting for other units, Irwin spotted the deputy and attempted to flee on foot. Following a brief pursuit, the deputy was able to take Irwin into custody without further incident and transport him to the Allegheny County Jail.
