17-year-old charged after pointing gun at police

WBBM-AM:
Lenard Myles, 17, of the 8100 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, was charged with aggravated assault of an officer and unlawful use of a weapon, according to police News Affairs.

About 4 p.m. Saturday, a Calumet Area saturation team on patrol in the 7900 block of South Langley Avenue approached a male suspect in an attempt to interview him, police News Affairs Officer Gabrielle Lesniak said.

The man fled on foot and officers followed on foot. During the chase, the man turned and pointed a weapon in the direction of one of the officers, Lesniak said.

An officer fired his weapon at the suspect, but did not strike him and did not cause any property damage, Lesniak said.

Myles appeared in bond court Sunday.
Same story as reported on Sunday!
