About 10:44 p.m. on Tuesday, police investigated a report of a disorderly person at the Wingate by Wyndham, located on State Street in Manchester Township.

Once there, they found a 33-year-old male who told them someone he knew only as "Brandon" had stolen his book bag and car keys. "Brandon" later turned out to be Lizotte, police said.

Police found Lizotte standing in a stairwell and the victim’s book bag on the ground nearby.

Also in his possession, they found a .22 caliber long rifle inside a case and another bag that contained 132 grams of a white powdery substance, suspected to be Fentanyl and a handgun with no serial number, police said.

"The powdery substance was sent to the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab for analysis," police said. "The victim’s stolen cell phone was located underneath the second book bag."
