birdwatcherHOWARD COUNTY -- Students at the school reported to an administrator Tuesday morning that they heard an explosion in the lobby. Administrators determined that an unknown device had gone off in a trash can, where they detected an unusual odor.
Officials viewed videotape from the school's surveillance camera and identified students near the incident.
One of the two involved students was interviewed by administrators Wednesday morning. The school notified the school resource officer, who began an investigation and determined that the device was a homemade explosive made with household cleaning chemicals.
The teen was charged Thursday morning with making and using a destructive device, which is a felony, and reckless endangerment. He could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for the felony charge.
