Here are some of the latest news from this morning, Friday, April 26:

Florida authorities arrest man wanted in Allegheny County

A man who allegedly led Pennsylvania State Police on a chase through Allegheny County last week was arrested in Florida on Thursday.

Hermas Craddock, 37, was tracked to an apartment complex in Polk County, Florida, where he was identified through surveillance footage, TribLive news partner WTAE reported.

Craddock was freed on a non-cash bond that was revoked earlier this week. Authorities said they believe he had already left Pennsylvania when his bail was revoked, according to WTAE.

State police said Craddock was under the influence of drugs last week when he led police on a high-speed chase that began in O’Hara, continued through Aspinwall and Sharpsburg and ended in Pittsburgh. He reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone, drove on sidewalks and ignored multiple red lights and stop signs while driving without a valid license, according to a criminal complaint.

Troopers said Craddock nearly crashed his vehicle into two patrol cars during last week’s chase, and was seen throwing a firearm out the window of his vehicle.

He faces multiple charges, including assault on a law enforcement officer, possession of marijuana, driving without a valid license and other traffic violations.

Court records indicate he was released without bail after a preliminary arraignment on April 10 before District Judge Xander Orenstein, a controversial figure whom court officials have since banned from presiding over arraignments.
