School gets a bomb threat on the school info hotline.<\/p>\n

Authorities check out voice mail system, observe the time, trace the call, and confirm the phone number that called in at that time.  The phone number is associated to a student.<\/p>\n

Student — who has no record, no detentions, no problems on his record at all, and whose voice didn’t match the recorded threat — gets tossed in the clink, protesting his innocence the entire time, for twelve days<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities finally realized that the freaking voice mail system wasn’t in sync with the new Daylight Saving Time change, and that the student in question had called in an hour before <\/em>the bomb threat.<\/p>\n

\n

Webb gave an insight into the school’s impressive investigative techniques, saying that he was ushered in to see the principal, Kathy Charlton. She asked him what his phone number was, and , according to Webb, when he replied ‘she started waving her hands in the air and saying \u201cwe got him, we got him.\u201d’<\/p>\n

‘They just started flipping out, saying I made a bomb threat to the school,’ he told local television station KDKA. After he protested his innocence, Webb says that the principal said: ‘Well, why should we believe you? You’re a criminal. Criminals lie all the time.’<\/p>\n

All charges against Webb have now been dropped.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Educational, indeed.<\/p>\n
