The warrant was for a 17-year-old boy who was wanted on a Level 5 felony weapons charge. Police said he failed to appear in court for his bond revocation hearing.
“Due to his history of violent offenses—including the shooting of an 11-year-old, an armed robbery, and fleeing from police while in possession of an AR-style pistol—he was classified as armed and dangerous, warranting the deployment of SWAT for his arrest," police wrote.
The teen was taken into custody without incident and will be transported to a detention facility.
