Report: Man steals truck, leads police on 3-state chase
PITTSBURGH — A man who had just been released from a county jail in Western Pennsylvania stole a vehicle and eventually led police on chase that went into West Virginia before he was finally captured in Ohio, authorities said.
The chase began shortly before noon Monday, when a work truck was reported stolen from a construction site in Pittsburgh. The vehicle was soon stopped by police, but authorities said the driver, Shad Bocella, 24, soon drove off.
Authorities said an officer fired a weapon during the stop, though no one was hit by any shots.
Bocella then traveled on at least two interstate highways in Pennsylvania before he entered West Virginia shortly before 1 p.m. He soon crossed into Ohio, where state highway patrol officers arrested him on Interstate 470.
