CERES (CBS13) -- A 16-year-old boy was arrested for being in possession of a gun on campus and several other charges.
According to a press release from Ceres Police, on Monday at 12:35 p.m., Central Valley High School staff contacted a School Resource Officer to report a possible gang fight involving a gun.

The press release goes on to say that the investigation led them to a Ceres home.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested at the home and taken to Juvenile Hall for booking.
He was booked for possession of a firearm without serial numbers, possession of a weapon at school, child cruelty, carrying a loaded firearm not registered, carrying a loaded firearm in public with special circumstances, and possession of a concealable firearm by a minor.
