Student Arrested For Terroristic Threatening Says Incident A Misunderstanding
A George Rogers Clark High School junior arrested Tuesday for making terrorist threats told LEX 18 News Thursday that the "writings" that got him arrested are being taken out of context.
Winchester police say William Poole, 18, was taken into custody Tuesday morning. Investigators say they discovered materials at Poole's home that outline possible acts of violence aimed at students, teachers, and police. Poole told LEX 18 that the whole incident is a big misunderstanding. He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class. "My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies." Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill. Poole disputes that he was threatening anyone. "It didn't mention nobody who lives in Clark County, didn't mention (George Rogers Clark High School), didn't mention no principal or cops, nothing," said Poole. "Half the people at high school know me. They know I'm not that stupid, that crazy." On Thursday, a judge raised Poole's bond from one to five thousand dollars after prosecutors requested it, citing the seriousness of the charge. Poole is being held at the Clark County Detention Center. ~~~~~~~ I'm not too far from Clark County. And this has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You can't even write a fictional horror story without getting arrested fo it now? :rolleyes: I guess I'll be arrested next then because I'm writing a fictional horror script that involves a school. :rolleyes: |
His grandparents should be kicked in the ass for going through his stuff. That is definitely one of the more unfair things i have read.

Definitely unfair...and really stupid. It was a story about ZOMBIES...so I can't see what would make them think it was going to actually happen? :confused:

They saw him turning into something they didnt want him to and found a way to try and prevent it. 40 years ago they would have found a reason for him to be Marxist and turned him in to mccarthy... |
Gee...You would think that the ONE place that Freedom Of Speech would prevail, would be in fictional writing...
Give me a fucking break... |
