Pistol turns out to be BB gun
Officers dismiss
17-year-old male
without charges
after ‘stern lecture’
BY SEAN HART
HERMISTON HERALD
Hermiston police re-
sponded to a report of a
juvenile carrying a pistol
Friday morning in Herm-
iston but let the individual
go with a warning after dis-
covering it was a BB gun.
According to the Herm-
iston Police Department
media bulletin, at about 7
a.m., a 911 caller reported
seeing a juvenile walking
north on Northwest Sev-
enth Street near Butte Park
carrying what appeared to
be a black pistol.
Police Chief Jason Ed-
PLVWRQ VDLG RI¿FHUV ¿QDO-
ly located the 17-year-old
male near the intersection
of Elm Avenue and High-
way 395 and determined
the pistol was a BB gun.

sent him on his way,” Ed-
miston said. “Unfortunate-
ly, this is one of those areas
where it can get muddy for

alarm’ — one component
of disorderly conduct. If the
individual was waving the
gun around, a case could
probably be made, but that
was not the case in this in-
stance.”
Edmiston said, although
Butte Park, where the in-
GLYLGXDO ZDV ¿UVW UHSRUW-
ed, is near Rocky Heights
Elementary School, HPD
received no information
that the teen was on school
property.
