Friday afternoon, transit officers arrested 18 year old Saadiq Teague on charges of criminal gun possession, at New York City’s Port Authority train station.
No word yet on why the Columbus, OH teen was in NYC, but according to his mother he wanted to see Times Square. His mother has described him as a good kid, recent graduate of a top high school and free of a criminal record.
Teague was charging his phone in the train station as his AK-47 assault rifle lay in front of him. The gun was unloaded, but 17 rounds were found in a clip in a nearby paper bag. An empty shell casing was found in Teague’s backpack.
