- An area high school student was arrested Tuesday after state investigators found three .80-caliber semi-automatic shotguns at his residence, Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said.
Police arrested East Chapel Hill High School student Tailong Wu, 17, at 5:45 p.m. at his home on Chesapeake Way and charged him with one misdemeanor count of possession of a handgun by a minor and one misdemeanor count of driving without a license, police reports state.
Police were at the residence to assist state agents in serving a warrant on Wu.
Cousins said she was unsure to what the warrant was related, but Wu’s mother gave consent for the search.
Wu arrived after officers had begun the search and was observed driving up to his residence. Once officers found he did not have a valid license, the second charge was issued.
Wu was issued a written promise to appear May 9 in Orange County District Criminal Court in Hillsborough.
