A man accused of leading police on a high-speed chase with a homicide suspect in the car during the weekend was arrested on weapons charges on Thursday after he was found sleeping in a woman's home with a gun on the nightstand beside the bed, Allegheny County Sheriff William P. Mullen said.
Montez Freeman, 29, was arrested after deputies went to a woman's home in Lawrenceville in search of another man wanted on unrelated charges. The other man wasn't there.
Freeman was arrested Saturday after a high-speed chase through the South Side that began when police tried to stop the vehicle he was driving because they believed one of his passengers to be a homicide suspect, Martell Herriot. When the vehicle was stopped, officers arrested Herriot, 30, who is accused of killing Sean Thompson, 34, last month in Lawrenceville.
Freeman was released on bond after his arrest on Saturday.
