Boy Jailed Over Clock Change Mix-Up

Cody Webb was arrested last month, after Hempfield Area High School received a bomb threat on their student hotline – which provides a range of information to students about the school – at 3.17am on March 11th. They believed they’d found the culprit when they traced the phone number they thought was responsible to Webb. Unfortunately, the school forgot that the clocks had switched to Daylight Saving Time that morning.

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, the fact that this needless mix up occurred, or that the principal didn’t hesitate to side with investigators despite no previous record of trouble with the student. She stated, “Well, why should we believe you? You’re a criminal. Criminals lie all the time.” Ugh.
