A Woodbury teen is facing charges after allegedly displaying a replica firearm on school grounds, leading to a widespread police search and foot pursuit.
After an extensive search of the surrounding area, officers located Boyd, who no longer had the backpack nor the firearm in his possession. He led detectives to where he claimed to have left the bag, though no weapon was recovered at that location.
Police searching near a residential area on Cypress Drive found parts of what appeared to be a firearm. The components—including the grip and slide—were later determined to from a replica handgun.
Boyd has been charged with one gross misdemeanor count of using or brandishing a replica firearm or BB gun while knowingly on school property and one misdemeanor count of fleeing a peace officer by means other than a motor vehicle. He faces up to 364 days in jail and a $3,000 fine for the weapons charge.
