From Warsaw Police Department Facebook

On Tuesday, September 13th, officers were dispatched to the 500 Block of Yancey St. on reports of a subject brandishing a firearm in the apartment complex. When officers arrived, they made contact with a male matching the description given. During a frisk for weapons, an officer located a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun in possession of the male subject which was illegally concealed. A subsequent search of the male was completed by officers who located a small amount of marijuana, a Schedule VI Controlled Substance, and two oxycodone pills, a Schedule II Controlled Substance.

After identifying the male, it was found that he was a juvenile, 15 years of age. The male’s guardian was immediately called and met with officers at the police department where he was released into their custody. This incident remains under investigation.

Another illegally possessed firearm and drugs off the streets of Warsaw due to the vigilance and hard work of our officers.

Another reason our department is #WarsawStrong.
