AIR SOFT = HARD TIME

Police responded to reports of an 18-year-old and a 15-year-old playing with weapons on Broadway only to discover the weapons were air soft guns. Officers were familiar with the pair, as they had responded to similar reports before, and decided to confiscate the air soft guns.
