The criminal: 14 year old High School Freshman Andrew M. A freshman honor student and member of his school's Jr ROTC in Virginia. His confession: "It was a stupid thing to do."
The weapon, a three inch plastic ball point pen tube and tiny plastic pellets. (You knew them as 'spit wads')The Charges: Three counts of misdemeanor assault.
The Punishment: Expulsion from school for the full school year and a criminal record.
