PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh Police say they've nabbed an alleged drug dealer after they responded to multiple suspected overdoses downtown.
According to Pittsburgh Police, officers and EMS responded to nine incidents of what they believe were overdoses late Wednesday morning in the area of Fourth Avenue and Wood Street.
