The list of charges the man faces includes aggravated assault, receiving stolen property, firearms charges, drug charges, DUI, and resisting arrest.
According to police, a Penn Hills officer was alerted early Tuesday morning to a vehicle that had gone off the road.
The officer tried to wake Austin and observed a pistol inside the car, as well as signs of Austin being intoxicated. Another officer joined the struggle to assist and the two were able to remove the pistol, which police later confirmed to be stolen, from the car. Officers followed Austin and found him sitting on a hillside next to the vehicle. When they approached him and told him to show his hands, he tried to run. Officers then used a taser on him and took him into custody, the news site said.
