RUSHVILLE, Ind., June 7 (UPI) -- An Indiana high school senior is facing a felony charge after his prank resulted in school officials calling in the state bomb squad.
Authorities said the bomb squad was called after surveillance cameras at Rushville High School photographed Tyell Morton bringing a package into the school while wearing latex gloves and a hooded sweatshirt, WGN-TV, Chicago, reported Tuesday.
The package was found to contain an inflatable doll Morton put in a girls' bathroom as a prank.
"It was just a senior prank, you know. I mean they're blowing it out of proportion," Morton said. "I didn't hurt nobody, I didn't have no intention of embarrassing nobody."
Morton is charged with felony criminal mischief and could face up to eight years in jail if convicted.
"In this post-Columbine world, that's what you get when these kind of things happen," Rush County Prosecutor Phil Caviness said.
