Police have charged a Westbrook teen with trafficking crack cocaine.

CBS 13 reports that the 17-year-old boy had three warrants out for his arrest.

Officers spotted him Wednesday with a 17-year-old girl.

Police say the two tried to create a diversion so the boy could get away, but it didn’t work, and the suspect was arrested.

In addition to the drugs, officers say they found a loaded handgun on the boy.

The suspect was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, aggravated trafficking of scheduled drugs, refusing to submit to arrest and carrying a concealed weapon.

The girl was charged with hindering apprehension and endangering the welfare of a child.
