Teen crashes car into school, drives down hall
Feb 08 2010
SHORELINE, Wash.— Sheriff's deputies said a 17-year-old boy crashed his parents' car through the doors of Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, then drove it down the hall. The car finally stopped 75 yards later when it hit a security office. Two school workers were still on the property and heard the crash.
Police found the teen on school grounds about an hour and a half after the crash late Friday night. He was taken into custody and then brought to Harborview Medical Center for a mental evaluation. Investigators said they do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role.
The boy, from Lake Forest Park, is a student at the school. He was not injured and requested a math test.
An unidentified person who was not authorized to speak said federal authorities are considering felony terrorist charges against the boy. He said the nearest FBI office has never had an opportunity to charge someone as a terrorist in Shoreline because it's such a quiet, friendly town. An FBI spokesmoron said, on condition of using someone else's name, Walter Bolton, that conditions were ideal to give the Patriot Act a trial run in Washington state. "To remain vibrant, and alive" said Bolton, "a criminal statute should be exercised frequently before it is forgotten and eventually discarded on the great dung heap of silly statutes."
