Orleans Police Department Activity – April 13, 2026

At approximately 8:00 PM, the Orleans Police Department received a complaint regarding a possible theft in the area of South 6th Street and Vincennes Street.

Officer K. Lundy and Asst. Chief Henderson responded and was advised that the suspected stolen property may be located at a residence in the area of South 5th Street. While checking the area, Officer Lundy located an adult male who appeared to be actively using illegal narcotics.

After making contact, officers obtained written consent to search the male’s residence. During the search, multiple electronic THC devices, smoking devices, and other drug paraphernalia were located.

The individual was issued a summons to appear in Orange County Superior Court on misdemeanor charges of:

• Possession of Ma*****na

Most importantly, the stolen property was also recovered and returned to its rightful owner.
