  • News

A teen was arrested with a handgun after police were called to the making of a music video.

A resident called police at 5:21 p.m., saying two males appeared to have a handgun near New York Avenue School, Lt. Kevin Fair said.

As officers arrived, the males started to run, according to the report.

Detectives Christopher Dodson and Eric Evans found a 17-year-old boy leaving the area.

As the detectives exited their vehicle, they approached the male and gave him verbal commands, Fair said.

The teen admitted he had a handgun in his waistband, according to the report.

He was arrested without incident.

He was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of hollow-point ammunition and possession of a large-capacity magazine.

The teen, whose name was not released due to his age, was taken to the Harborfields Detention Facility.
