Lincoln Northwest High School. (Jeff Motz/KFOR News)LINCOLN–(KFOR Oct. 14)–A 16-year-old have been referred to the Youth Detention Center, after he allegedly threatened a resource officer at Lincoln Northwest High School last Friday morning.
According to LPD, the resource officer was trying to i
nterview the 16-year-old about a robbery that happened early on Oct. 7 at Oak Lake Park, when the teen apparently started making threats. A probable cause affidavit say the student threatened to assault the resource officer, if he seized the teen’s phone.
LPD says while the 16-year-old was being interviewed in a conference room by the officer, he called his 17-year-old brother, who tried to get inside. As the 16-year-old continued to cause a disturbance in the room, Police say the resource officer then pointed his Taser at the 16-year-old. He was then taken into custody and his phone was seized.
LPD say shortly after the teenager was released, there was a disturbance outside the school involving one of the brothers, who was believed to be armed. That person was found at a nearby store and started running from officers. He was eventually taken into custody at gunpoint and put in the Youth Detention Center.
