Willow Grove Man Arrested After Doing a Favor

Abington police arrested a Willow Grove man after he attempted to pick up his father’s car. 

Antonio Orlina, 24, of Decatur Avenue, was arrested after he went to retrieve his father’s car after his father was arrested during a traffic stop for having an outstanding warrant, police said. According to police, the stop happened in early March near the corner of Welsh Road and Coolidge Avenue.

Police said Orlina didn’t want his father’s vehicle to be towed.

Police, knowing that Orlina also had an outstanding warrant, waited by the vehicle and attempted to arrest him. According to police, Orlina immediately turned away from police, became belligerent and resisted arrest. Orlina also attempted to grab a police officer and tried to pull him toward a parked vehicle, police said.

After Orlina was taken into custody, police said they found him to be in possession of a loaded Colt Police Special, holstered in his waistband. The gun had six rounds of .38-cal. ammunition.

Orlina was not charged with any weapons offenses.
