A 16-year-old was arrested on Thursday after deputies said he pulled a gun in a crowd of spring breakers at New Smyrna Beach. According to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, deputies were patrolling that area of the beach around 3:45 p.m. near Flagler Avenue, which is when they heard the crowd yelling. Some people began shouting “He has a gun!” In response, deputies ran to the scene and found the Lakeland teen wielding a handgun, investigators explained. In a release, deputies said they drew their firearms and approached the teen while commanding him to drop his handgun. “Instead, he took off, still holding the gun, running through crowds of people before heading into the ocean, throwing the gun into the water along with a bag he was carrying,” the release reads. The teen surrendered to deputies shortly thereafter, and both the gun and bag were retrieved from the water, deputies added. The bag held 20 smaller plastic bags filled with marijuana. As a result, the teen faces charges of firearm possession by a minor, improper exhibition of a firearm, resisting a law enforcement officer, sale of marijuana, commission of a second-degree felony with a weapon, two counts of tampering with evidence, and three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. In addition to those charges, the teen was arrested on seven active no-bond warrants out of Orange County, including armed robbery and violation of probation, deputies said. He was ultimately taken to the Volusia Family Resource Center for processing before being transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Deputies said no injuries were reported during this incident. No additional information has been provided, including where the teen obtained the firearm and why he pulled it out on Thursday.
