A 14-year-old is being charged with two counts of aggravated assault on police officers, felony vandalism, and unlawful gun possession for this evening throwing a scooter from the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge into an area where two police officers were working below.
The two officers were inside a UTV at the time. The scooter struck the left rear corner of the UTV’s roof. The scooter has a replacement cost of $1,600.
Cameras on the bridge showed the teen pick up the scooter, which had been left on the bridge, and drop it over the railing shortly after 5 p.m. After reviewing camera footage and obtaining a description of the teen, officers found him in Lot R of Nissan Stadium near the east end of the bridge. He was found to be in possession of a pistol.
The teen was taken to juvenile detention.
