2 Teens Charged with Allegedly Taking Arlington Heights School Resource Officer's Missing Gun
Police say the missing handgun remains unrecovered as one student is charged with unlawful possession and another with possession of a stolen firearm.
- Arlington Heights Police Department charged 18-year-old Juan Pablo Sanchez Jaramillo and an unnamed 17-year-old following the theft of a school resource officer's service weapon at Forest View Educational Center on Monday.
- The incident occurred Monday when the school resource officer left his firearm "unattended" in a bathroom before students were dismissed, prompting an investigation that resulted in canceled classes on Tuesday.
- Detectives allege Sanchez Jaramillo removed the firearm from campus and transferred it to the 17-year-old, though a search warrant Tuesday recovered only a rail-mounted tactical flashlight previously attached to the stolen handgun.
- The Cook County State's Attorney's Office approved felony charges for both teens, while the school resource officer remains on administrative leave pending a formal internal affairs investigation.
- Authorities urge anyone with information about the missing handgun to contact the Arlington Heights Police Department, as recovering the weapon remains the department's "highest priority," police said.
