Burglary Response Leads to Firearms Arrest – E. Orange Street

On February 1, 2026, at approximately 11:00 p.m., officers from the Lancaster Township Police Department responded to the 1200 block of East Orange Street for a report of a burglary in progress.

Upon arrival, officers located a highly intoxicated male, later identified as Felton Dro, slumped in front of the front door of the caller’s residence. The male was detained for investigation. During the encounter, officers discovered that Dro was in possession of a firearm.

Further investigation determined that Dro did not possess a valid license to carry a firearm and is prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior felony convictions. Dro was taken into custody without incident.

As a result, Dro was charged with the following offenses:

• One (1) count of Person Not to Possess a Firearm (Felony 2)
• One (1) count of Firearms Not to Be Carried Without a License (Felony 3)
• One (1) count of Criminal Mischief (Misdemeanor 3)

Dro was subsequently incarcerated at Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 10, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., before the Honorable Mary Mongiovi‑Sponaugle, Magisterial District Court 02‑2‑03, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
