A 15-year-old Hamilton boy has been charged with drug and weapons-related offences.
Hamilton police say they arrested the teenager Tuesday in connection with an incident at Jackson Square on Jan. 30.

Police say the boy was in possession of a loaded flare gun and some drugs when he was arrested.
He’s facing charges of assault, carrying a concealed weapon, weapons dangerous and trafficking narcotics.
The three other youths who were involved in the disturbance were arrested at the scene.
