DeAndre Kane was taken into custody Friday at Pittsburgh International Airport after arriving from Iceland, ending for now a child support case that had followed him while he kept playing professional basketball overseas. The 36-year-old Pittsburgh native is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.

Authorities said Kane owed more than $100,000 in child support and had been wanted since 2023 after he did not appear in family court for a hearing on missed payments. Detectives from the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office, Allegheny County Police and the U.S. Department of State learned he was returning to Pittsburgh from Iceland and arrested him after he got off the flight.

The arrest puts a local face on a case that had already stretched across years and across the Atlantic. Kane has been playing professionally overseas since 2014, and he is currently living in Iceland while continuing that career. For prosecutors and the sheriff's office, the break came when investigators learned he would be back in Pittsburgh on Friday, turning a long-running warrant into a jail booking at the airport.

Kane is a former Schenley High School and City League standout, and his return to Allegheny County now sends him back into the court system that he avoided when he missed the earlier hearing. He is awaiting a hearing in family court, where the child support case that began with missed payments will move forward under far different circumstances than when it started.

What happens next is straightforward: Kane remains in the Allegheny County Jail until that family court hearing, where the question is no longer whether he will appear, but how the case will be handled now that he has been brought back under custody.
