Police said in a statement that officers spotted a "person of interest" — currently on parole and known from prior law enforcement action — sitting in a vehicle outside of a house on the 100 block of Donohoe Street on the morning of Sept. 12. Police said they were aware that one person in the home had an outstanding arrest warrant for weapons and narcotics-related offenses.
After the occupant of the vehicle entered the home, officers searched the residence and found firearms, narcotics, marijuana, counterfeit currency and fireworks, according to police. The person of interest was found hiding in the basement, and a "female juvenile runaway" in the home was found and reunited with her mother, police said.
