1 min read

State police surrounded a house on West Fayette Street in Connellsville Monday afternoon and arrested a man inside.

Witnesses said a car sped down Fayette Street followed by a state police vehicle. The male driver reportedly turned down and alley an left the vehicle, running on foot into 311 West Fayette Street.

More than a dozen state police vehicles were on the scene, calling for the man to exit the house on speakers before he came out and was arrested.

State police have not released the name of the man who was arrested.

A blue sedan was towed from the scene.

It is unclear how, or whether, a crash on State Route 119 in Dunbar Township involving a state police vehicle and another car was related to the standoff.
