TOLEDO, Ohio — A Toledo teenager allegedly pointed a gun at a police officer who confronted a pair of suspects inside an unoccupied east Toledo home early Tuesday morning.
Toledo police arrested a 16-year-old and 17-year-old once they emerged from the home along Magyar Street shortly before 1:30 a.m..
Officers were called to the home after reports that someone had broken windows at the house and gone inside. When police arrived and checked the perimeter, one officer spotted a suspect while looking through the broken window, according a report from TPD.
"The suspect observed Officer Rust, then pulled out a gun and pointed the gun at Officer Rust before immediately retreating further into the house," the report said.
Officers then heard the suspects run upstairs inside the house, police said.
Police then repeatedly ordered the pair to come out of the house. The suspects responded they would come out. When they emerged, the two were arrested without incident, the report said.
Officers searched the home after taking the teens into custody. They found the house empty, but recovered a firearm upstairs, police said.
An investigation of the incident by Toledo police detectives is ongoing, police said.
