Police arrested an 18-year-old on gun charges after detaining three people loitering on Birmingham Ave.
Officer Jonathan Duharte spotted the trio outside 502 Birmingham Ave. at about 3:43 a.m. Saturday. When they observed him, one started walking in the opposite direction quickly.
He detained them but the group initially didn’t obey his commands to take their hands out of their pockets.
Police checked all three for weapons. Before searching the 18-year-old, Duharte asked if the teen had anything he should be aware of.
The teen, identified as Isaac McGee, of Pennsylvania Avenue, put his head on the hood of the cruiser and, “You got me officer.” He then admitted he had a handgun in his pocket. He also stated he had fired a shot into the air prior to police arriving.
Police recovered a .22-caliber revolver. McGee was charged with carrying a pistol without permit, altering the serial number on a handgun, unlawful discharge, interfering with police and risk of injury to a minor. His bond was set at $50,000.
The two juveniles who were with him were driven home to their parents and not charged.
