NAUGATUCK, Conn. — A 14-year-old Naugatuck High school student was arrested Friday morning for bringing a firearm to school.
Police said the BB gun was found in the teen's backpack. The arrest happened during a police investigation into a fight that happened at Salem Park on Oct. 20.
The same teen allegedly took out a pistol during the fight, police said. There were no reported injuries during that incident, according to police.
The school's resource officer obtained a search and seizure warrant for the teen's residence. State police assisted in executing the warrant, but no weapons were found during that search.
Police said the BB gun seized was a replica, but those replicas can still be a hazard to the public when used in criminal endeavors.
