BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – An 17-year-old boy was arrested Saturday after he bragged on Instagram about having a AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, Boynton Beach police said.
The video drew the attention of police because a similar weapon was stolen from an unmarked police car parked at a Boynton Beach shopping center last week. A spokesperson for the Boynton Beach Police Department said Moses Clay Jr. was the thief.
