A juvenile from Daly City was arrested on Wednesday after San Mateo police officers responded to a disturbance call on W. 25th Ave. According to the San Mateo Police Department, officers arrived at the scene around 11:54 pm to find several people in the roadway, and one was alleged to be wielding a gun. After a brief chase on foot, police detained a 17-year-old, who was found carrying an unloaded "ghost gun".
While no injuries were reported from the incident, with only the minor in question detained, the discovery of the firearm led to a larger issue. The police conducted a records check, revealing that this minor had not only violated a juvenile court order but was on probation due to a previous robbery conviction.
The unidentified minor faces several charges, including possession of a concealed weapon by a person with a felony conviction, being a felon in possession of a firearm, a minor in possession of a firearm, and failure to obey a juvenile court order, as enumerated in the San Mateo Police Department bulletin. To be legal, all firearms are mandated to bear a serial number and must be registered.
