Fort Greene Teen Caught Jumping Turnstile With Gun

Call it a trifecta for the New York Police Department. 

Police caught Tyrell Thomas, 16, committing three crimes simultaneously Saturday when they busted the teen for fare evasion while carrying a loaded firearm and an unspecified amount of marijuana.

The incident occurred at 6:07 p.m. after officers saw the Fort Greene resident and another individual enter the turnstile at Bergen Street station on the No. 2 and 3 line at the same time, police said.

When the officers approached the pair, they fled into a train that had stopped at the station, police said.

An officer then grabbed the teen and rear-cuffed him, according to police.

During the arrest, the teen attempted to reach for the front of his waistband, where an officer found a .380 semi-automatic nickel-plated firearm, according to police. The other suspect fled the scene.

Police later found the marijuana stuffed into the teen's left sock.

Thomas has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon, obstructing governmental administration, unlawful possession of marijuana and disorderly conduct.
