A 16-year-old boy who reportedly made threatening remarks to school personnel after he was suspended Monday morning was arraigned in Juvenile and Domestics Relations District Court today.
The youth was arrested after a traffic stop near the school. During a search of the vehicle he was driving, a loaded handgun was recovered in close proximity to the 16-year-old, police said in a press release issued about 5:30 p.m. Monday.
The 11th grade student, whose name is being withheld because he is a juvenile, was driving his father’s pickup truck and had two 17-year-old boys with him, police said.
A court officer today told the judge that the youth was suspended for defiant behavior. She said that it was recommended that he remain in custody “due to public safety.” The youth is being held in the juvenile detention center in Chesapeake pending an Oct. 3 trial. He faces charges of larceny of a firearm, underage possession of a firearm, possession of a concealed weapon and possession of burglarious tools.
