Teen Arrested in Port Authority for Threatening to Shoot Police Officers

A Florida teen was arrested early Wednesday evening at Port Authority for allegedly threatening to kill police officers.

At around 4 p.m. Port Authority police arrested Hunter Taylor, an 18-year-old from Groveland, Florida, after a man who said he was smoking with him passed along to police that he had threatened to shoot officers. The man said Taylor then opened his bag to reveal a loaded revolver, so the man told police about the threat. Police obtained a search warrant and went through Taylor's bag at 8:30 p.m.

Taylor was charged with criminal possession of a weapon (which was a .38-caliber revolver), making a terroristic threat and unlawful possession of marijuana (officers found a small, clear bag with pot). Taylor didn't resist arrest, according to Port Authority police.
