Police arrived at a John Penn Circle home this weekend to a homeowner who had an armed teen “detained” following the theft of his daughter’s bicycle.
A Salisbury Police report does not indicate how the homeowner detained the teen, who lives in the same neighborhood.
Jose Daniel Lainez, 19, of the 100 block of John Penn Circle, was charged with misdemeanor possession of stolen goods, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number. He has since been released from the Rowan County jail under a $2,500 secured bond.
The father told police he saw the teen in possession of the bike April 15. He saw the teen riding the bike. Upon a search of Lainez, police found a .22-caliber revolver in his pocket. The handgun’s serial numbers had been scratched off, a report said.
