Irving ISD student detained for invention resembling bomb
"IRVING – A MacArthur High School freshman said school officials overreacted and called police after mistakenly thinking his latest invention looked like a fake bomb.
Irving police detained 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed on Monday.
Officers said the clock and wires inside his Vaultz pencil case looked like a hoax bomb to them.
But Ahmed — an engineering student who has won awards for his inventions — said he created the clock over the weekend, and brought it to school to show an engineering teacher earlier in the day."
No reference to any "fake explosive," just wires and a digital clock. :rolleyes:
