Hyattsville, Md.
Maryland police say a teenager was taken into custody after he was found sleeping with a loaded rifle.
According to the Hyattsville Police Department, a person called authorities about an armed person at about 8 p.m. on Nov. 27.
When officers entered the home, the department said they found a 15-year-old boy sleeping in his room next to a loaded AR-15-style rifle.

According to authorities, the rifle was loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition.
Officers said they could not locate a serial number on the gun due to a black glue substance, but the boy was taken into custody without incident.
