CASCADE, Iowa — The Cascade Police Department arrested Anthony T. Orcholski, 37, of Cascade, on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 5:39 p.m., on two charges: possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), first offense, and violation of a no-contact/protective order (contempt of court).

According to the department’s arrest notice, officers discovered that Orcholski had violated a valid no-contact order while he was trying to hide from officers during an unrelated call for service around 3:15 p.m. that day. Officers later located and arrested Orcholski near his residence. During the investigation, officers also obtained probable cause showing Orcholski was in possession of cocaine. The Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the arrest.

The notice cites Iowa Code 124.401(5) for the cocaine possession charge and Iowa Code 664A.7(1) for the no-contact order violation.

No further details were included in the notice. It does not state the circumstances of the unrelated call for service, the identity of the person protected by the no-contact order, the amount of cocaine allegedly involved, any bond information, or a court date. Those details remain pending.

Orcholski is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. The charges are allegations, and the case has not been adjudicated.
