ALLEGHENY COUNTY — A woman with an active warrant and a history of violence was arrested by Allegheny County Sheriff’s detectives on Friday.

Littlejohn was put on probation after she pleaded guilty to shooting a person in the chest with a pellet gun. She also had an active warrant out of Forest Hills for simple assault charges.

Detectives learned she was staying in a house on Edgewood Avenue. They had to force their way inside and found her hiding inside a closet.

Littlejohn is now being held at the Allegheny County Jail.
