Two teens face felony charges in connection with the disappearance of an Arlington Heights police officer’s gun after it was mistakenly left in a school bathroom Monday, authorities announced Wednesday.
However, the whereabouts of the officer’s gun remain unknown and recovering it remains “our highest priority,” police said.
The charges follow an investigation launched Monday when a school resource officer at Forest View Educational Center in Arlington Heights reported his service weapon missing, officials said. The officer reported that he had removed the firearm from his holster before using the bathroom, authorities said.
Authorities now allege that Juan Pablo Sanchez Jaramillo, an 18-year-old student from Mount Prospect, took the unattended firearm from the restroom after school was dismissed for the day.
