Utah Boy Pleads Guilty To School Bomb Plot

A 16-year-old Utah boy charged in a plot to blow up his high school has pleaded guilty and is being sentenced to six months in a secure youth center.

The Roy High School student appeared in juvenile court Tuesday and entered the plea to a charge of possession of a weapon of mass destruction.

Police recovered no bomb, but conspiracy is an element of the charge.

A classmate tipped authorities to the plot after receiving text messages from the juvenile.

Eighteen-year-old Dallin Morgan was also charged in January on the same felony charge. He is set to appear May 14 for a preliminary hearing in Ogden’s 2nd District Court.

The Associated Press doesn’t typically identify juveniles who are suspects in crimes.
