NYPD Transit Cops Stop Teen For Failing To Pay Subway Fare, Gun Recovered
NYPD Transit officers arrested a teenager and recovered an illegal handgun Sunday afternoon after they observed the suspect fail to pay subway fare to enter Brooklyn's Kingston Avenue and Throop Avenue station.

The two officers stopped the suspect and asked for identification. The teen was not able to produce identification and was place under arrest. After being placed under arrest an unloaded .32 caliber revolver was recovered from the suspect's bag. The teen was charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon and Theft of Service.
