Charges for the arrested individuals include:

• Going armed to the terror of the public

• Assault on a government official

• Carrying a concealed weapon

• Resisting a public officer

• Possession of a handgun by a minor

The parents of the juveniles who were arrested are charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Officers retrieved two firearms during the arrests, officials said.

A 15-year-old male, who was involved in the disturbances, was charged with possession of a handgun by a minor, no operator’s license and resisting a public officer.

Police say the suspect recently cut off his ankle monitor issued by the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Detectives tried to obtain a secure custody order for the juvenile, but the DJJ denied the request and the suspect was released into the custody of a family member.

The juvenile has a lengthy criminal history including multiple auto thefts, resisting a public officer, larceny from auto, breaking and entering and assault with a deadly weapon.
