ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A man and a woman were arrested after deputies said they found drugs and a stolen gun inside a home in Orleans County.

Investigators said 30-year-old Maranda Button let deputies inside where they found a loaded pistol and drug paraphernalia on the ground. The gun was reported stolen to the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office in February 2024.

It was alleged that Harden was in the home and ran upstairs to hide and refused to come out. Deputies said they arrested him after a brief stand-out.

Harden and Button were charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of stolen property — firearm. More charges may come as the investigation continues.
