At about 11:50 p.m. on Sunday, March 28, Orland police officers responded to the Glenn Medical Center emergency room for a reported victim of a gunshot wound.

Officers and assisting deputies learned that Arlo Little, 31, was shot at or near 714 Tehama Street, Orland, then was transported by private vehicle to the hospital.

Little was triaged at Glenn Medical Center, then taken to Enloe Medical Center for further treatment and evaluation.

This investigation is ongoing, and the Orland Police Department urges anybody with information about the incident to contact the department at 530-865-1616.

According to Arlo Little’s Facebook page, which appears to have been neglected for the last few years, he attended Willows High School, studied at Butte College, and lives in Willows.

Little has had numerous encounters with law enforcement. His Glenn County Jail booking information in recent years states that he is a Willows transient.

According to the Glenn County Superior Court, Little was found guilty of various crimes in 2016 and 2017. Most of the violations for which he was convicted were drug-related.

Most recently, in August of 2020, Little was convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery and possession of methamphetamine and was found in violation of probation for the fourth time.He was sentenced to 364 days in jail and probation was terminated.

Obviously, Little was not still serving (or not yet serving) his 364 days in jail when he was shot late Sunday night.
