The teen was arrested around 5:25 a.m., Tuesday, June 29, in Pittsfield after police received a noise complaint believed to be originating from the McKay Street Parking Deck, said Pittsford PD Lt. Gary Traversa.
Responding officers found three juveniles loitering on the top level of the parking deck, one of which appeared to have been the driver of a vehicle he was occupying, Traversa said.
The officer initially spoke with the teen behind the wheel, but received limited cooperation, and noticed what he thought was a weapon.
A second officer arrived to assist, at which time a firearm was discovered in the juveniles’ waistband, Traversa said.
At that point, the other two juveniles yelled at officers and then ran from the area.
They were located and detained in a lower level of the parking deck a short time later.
Officers immediately retraced the path by which the juveniles fled and located several heroin baggies, believed to have been discarded as they ran, police said.
Because the drugs were not found in the juvenile's possession, and their disposal of the drugs was not witnessed, no charges were filed and they were returned to the custody of their parents.
The juvenile found with the firearm was arrested and charged with carrying a loaded firearm without a license and two counts of possession of ammunition without an FID Card.
He was arraigned and held without bail. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday, July 1.
