Suffolk police say a Centereach teen was arrested after he pointed a weapon at a school bus.
Police say it happened shortly before 3 p.m. on Sept. 21. A 17-year-old allegedly threatened to shoot another student while riding on the bus following a dispute.
The teen got off the bus on Garden Street and then pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the bus. Following an investigation, police say it was determined that the weapon was a BB gun without a red tip.
The teen, whose identity wasn't released, was arrested on Friday. He is charged with three counts of second-degree menacing.
