HUNTINGTON -- A 17-year-old boy from Ironton was arrested Sunday morning after leading Huntington officers on a foot chase near the exit ramp of Interstate 64 on 16th Street Road.

Police Chief Skip Holbrook said officers spotted a teenager running on the Interstate 64 overpass about 10 a.m. Sunday. The teenager matched the description of a suspect who was wanted in Lincoln County for an incident that occurred early Sunday morning.

Holbrook said details of that incident are still sketchy, but it appears that State Police in Lincoln County were conducting an investigation at a bar early Sunday and encountered two people, one of whom was a teenager. The two suspects fled from the bar. The man was arrested, but the teenager got away, Holbrook said. State Police in Lincoln County could not be reached for comment.

The teen led Huntington officers on a foot chase into the woods along the northbound lane of 16th Street Road between the I-64 exit ramp and Wendy's, Holbrook said. An officer fired his gun at the teenager when he disobeyed orders to remove his hands from his waistband, Holbrook said.

The teenager was caught a few minutes later near the intersection of KineticPark and 16th Street Road. The suspect had a knife, Holbrook said.

The teenager was arrested and charged with three juvenile petitions -- carrying a concealed and dangerous weapon, fleeing and obstructing. Police declined to release his name.

Authorities returned to 16th Street Road on Sunday afternoon as they scoured the hillside for the shell casing from the officer's gun. Holbrook declined to release the name of the officer who fired at the teenager, but said he will not be placed on temporary leave since there were no injuries involved in the shooting.

However, an internal review of the incident will be conducted, Holbrook said. That's standard procedure when an officer fires his or her weapon, regardless of whether they shoot someone, he said.
