Pittsburgh police arrest suspect following chase throughout city
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A man was arrested after a chase through Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
The incident began after a 911 call reported the suspect, Marc Smith, was involved in a domestic situation. Police say Smith then took off in a Chevrolet Silverado.
Smith previously had a felony warrant for numerous aggravated assaults and strangulation, according to the criminal complaint.
Soon after, officers say they attempted to pull Smith over when a chase began where Smith hit speeds over 100 miles per hour, weaving in and out of traffic.
Officers say they used spike strips, saying one of Smith’s tires was hit, but despite losing a tire and his vehicle sparking, Smith didn’t pull over until he eventually crashed into another vehicle on I-279 North.
Police say they had to taze Smith, who was not following orders, and punched him several times as he allegedly reached toward his waistband, with one officer believing Smith was reaching for a weapon.
Once he was in handcuffs, police say Smith’s vehicle caught on fire.
Officers found 65 bricks of heroin, totaling more than 3,200 stamp bags, along with other drugs inside.
Smith is now behind bars facing multiple charges.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes finished third in the National League Cy Young Award voting on Wednesday.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale won the award, while Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler finished second.
The Pirates’ pitcher is the fifth rookie to finish in the top 3 in Cy Young voting, and his third-place finish is the highest by a rookie since Jose Fernandez’s third-place mark in 2013. Skenes received one second-place vote and 13 third-place votes. The award was voted on by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
For Skenes, Wednesday’s Cy Young third-place finish was the cap on a phenomenal rookie season. From May 11, when he made his Major League Baseball Debut, Skenes was a sensation on the mound. He finished the season with an 11-3 record and a 1.96 ERA in 133 innings over 23 starts. He added 170 strikeouts and only walked 32 batters.
The 22-year-old pitcher, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft out of LSU, had such a strong season that he was named the starting pitcher for the National League in the 2024 All-Star Game.
Though Skenes came up short in the NL Cy Young voting, the pitcher was named the 2024 NL Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year winner on Monday.
The pitcher also was named Baseball Digest’s National League Rookie of the Year earlier this month and Baseball America’s 2024 Rookie of the Year in October.
