The student turned himself in to police with his mother and attorney at 9 o’clock last night, Chief Robert A. Wilson said.

Juvenile delinquency complaints were filed against him for:

  • armed robbery
  • weapons possession (2 counts)
  • weapons possession by a minor

A search warrant turned up the suspected weapon — a pellet gun — at the teen’s home.

He was being held in the Bergen County Juvenile Detention Center pending an initial appearance in Family Court.
