Handgun-Wielding 14-Year-Old Charged After Chase In Anne Arundel County Park, Police Say

An armed 14-year-old was arrested after accosting at least one juvenile with a handgun in an Anne Arundel park.

Late in the afternoon on Wednesday, officers from the Anne Arundel County Police Department were called to the area of Fairbrook Court in Severn, where there was a reported suspicious minor who had a weapon.

Responding officers spoke with a minor who said he was walking in the park between Fairbrook Court and Briarview Court when two teens approached him, one with a handgun, before chasing him down.

A second juvenile in the area also reported a similar incident.

An investigation led police to identify a 14-year-old suspect, and on Thursday, a search of his family's home led to the recovery of a weapon that was used during the incident.

The 14-year-old Severn resident was "charged accordingly," police say.
