Commas needed in any of these sentences? If so, where?
Would you add any commas to these sentences, or are they correct as is?

Nate Copeg of Main Street won the lottery.
Dawn Drummings of Fifth Avenue came in first place.
Sam Smith of the New York State Police made the arrest.
Bill Sampson of the Denning Corporation will retire next month.
Arrested was Eugene Havlin of Brooklyn.
Arrested was Tim Thompson of the Dennington Police Department.
Thank you.
