In the Orting case, according to Juvenile Court charging documents, Timothy David Knoll contacted police last Friday, telling them he was responsible for setting off a bomb made with a glass bottle, tape, bottle rockets and a flaming firework on April 18.
The boy "stated that he brought the device to the school in an attempt to gain recognition and intimidate another male student who had been dating the respondent's girlfriend," the court papers said.
Knoll was charged with third-degree malicious explosion of a substance.
