A 17-year-old boy was arrested early yesterday in Wai'anae for investigation of firearm and drug offenses.

The boy was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a girl, 17, that was stopped at 1:35 a.m. for a traffic violation. During the stop, it was discovered the girl did not have a driver's license.

While talking to the driver, police noticed the boy acting nervous and allowed him to exit the vehicle. While he was outside, an officer saw the butt of a pistol under the passenger seat. During a search of the boy, police said they recovered a packet of marijuana.

The girl was arrested for driving without a license while the boy was booked as a juvenile for a firearm offense and third-degree promotion of a detrimental drug.

Both were later released pending further investigation.
