ALLENTOWN, PA – Last Thursday, an Allentown police officer on patrol responded to gunshots near 12th and Gordon Street.
The officer interacted with three juvenile males, one of whom fled, prompting a chase that ended in arrest.
During the arrest, a loaded firearm was found on the running juvenile. A second juvenile was also detained after he failed to disperse and assaulted an officer.
Charges against these two juveniles range from carrying firearms without a license, resisting arrest, to assault.
Allentown Police Captain Kyle Pammer reiterates that these are merely charges, and the accused are innocent until proven guilty.
