BB Gun Wielding Teen Facing Charges

Calls to police about a young man with a handgun in Chatham has landed a local teen with charges.

Officers responded to St George Street shortly before 8 o’clock Thursday morning, found the man in question, and determined the weapon was a BB gun.

Officers also say the accused was under a court order prohibiting him from having any firearms.

The 16-year-old is now charged with failing to comply with a probation order, possessing a firearm, and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

He was released with conditions and will have to appear before a judge in November.
