An Olyphant man — wanted by state parole authorities for criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault stemming from a shooting — was arrested Friday in the borough. When members of the U.S. Marshals Service, Pennsylvania State Parole, Olyphant Police Department and Lackawanna County Detectives Drug Unit responded to the 600 block of Susquehanna Avenue around 7:30 a.m. to serve an arrest warrant on Devante Herbert Graham — who police said is a Crips street gang member — they were told Graham was upstairs. Investigators found him in a bedroom and took him into custody, according to a criminal complaint.

During a search of the apartment, investigators also found a bag containing a digital scale with cocaine residue, a debit card belonging to Graham, a blue bandana and a cellphone, officers said. Graham told investigators the phone under the bed belonged to him and later admitted knowing he was wanted by state parole but never turned himself in, police said. Investigators discovered approximately 10 grams of marijuana in medical marijuana bags with another person's name on them, marijuana wrapping papers, a marijuana grinder and a bottle containing six Oxycontin pills in the bedroom where Graham was staying, according to the criminal complaint.
