North Braddock woman with history of violence arrested

The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office says a North Braddock woman with a history of violence has been arrested.

26-year-old Cecilia Littlejohn had been a fugitive since February when a bench warrant was issued for a parole violation in a case in which she pleaded guilty to shooting someone in the chest with a pellet gun.

Littlejohn also has another case pending, charged with assault in Forest Hills.

Detectives learned Littlejohn was inside a residence on Edgewood Avenue and found her hiding in a closet after forcing their way inside.

She is now the Allegheny County Jail.
