Two years later, police say Bressanelli pleaded guilty to attacking a woman.

Investigators tell Channel 11's Pamela Osborne they got a tip that Bressanelli was hiding out at a home in Hazelwood.

When police went to check on the house, they say Bressanelli drove by. After a brief chase, he was taken into custody.

Bressanelli remains in the Allegheny County Jail.
