Early Sunday morning, Lake Orion Village Police observed two young males exhibiting ‘unusual? behavior.
According LOPD Lieutenant Harold Rossman, at 1:30 a.m. officers on routine patrol observed the young men wearing dark clothing and exiting a driveway on Newton Dr. When approached, the young men fled. One was captured, but the other got away, which prompted a call for assistance from the county K9 unit. The dog and handler tracked the second subject to a wooded area off Paint Creek Trail, but the track was soon lost.
Using information obtained from the captured youth, officers were led to a home on Summer Ave, in Orion Township, where they identified and arrested the second youth. Both were charged with prowling and being out past curfew. One was a 15-year-old from Orion, the other was a 16-year-old from Clarkston.
