Mitchell Hunter Oakes was arrested by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office on July 22, 2025, following the execution of a search warrant at Burgess Drive in Cumberland County. During the search, authorities discovered multiple firearms—including a SCCY CPX-2 9mm handgun with its serial number removed and an H&R revolver marked with Oakes’ name—along with drug paraphernalia, suspected marijuana products, small amounts of white powder believed to be fentanyl, and approximately 0.73 grams of a crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine.

Two stolen vehicles were also recovered on the property: a 2015 Ford Explorer valued at around $10,000 and a 2004 Chevy Silverado valued at less than $1,000.

Oakes, a convicted felon, faces several felony and misdemeanor charges filed on April 7, 2026, including violation of an order of protection involving a firearm, theft of property valued between $10,000 and $60,000, altering or possessing items with defaced serial numbers, two counts of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, simple possession or casual exchange of a controlled substance, possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia, and possession or casual exchange of methamphetamine.

He is scheduled for an arraignment hearing on May 12, 2026, at 8:00 AM in Cumberland County Circuit Court and is represented by attorney Ramon Damas.
