Penn Hills man who owes nearly $70,000 was arrested on bench warrants

A Penn Hills man who owes nearly $70,000 in child support was arrested Saturday morning, the Allegheny County Sheriff's office said.

Keith Douthett, 49, was among the sheriff's "most wanted" child support offenders and was wanted on three bench warrants issued in April 2006, according to the sheriff's office.

Douthett was apprehended about 8:50 a.m. in the 100 block of South Avenue in Wilkinsburg, the sheriff's office said. Detectives began putting the area under surveillance after receiving an anonymous tip several days ago.

Douthett is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
