were undercover police driving an unmarked car.

The officers ordered Ryon Shelton, 15, to drop his gun, police said.

"They thought it was a real gun," police Lt. Kenneth Washburn said. "He dropped the gun and attempted to run and was apprehended."

Shelton told officers he was "just playing around" and trying to scare people during the Halloween night incident, police said.

He was cited for assault while displaying a dangerous weapon and released to relatives, police said."

Every last cop alive looks at this story and say's yeah, sure. Young Ryon was just joshin'. If it hadn't have been the cops he stopped, some poor schmuck minding his own business would have been robbed of every last cent when Ryon got through with him.
