PINELLAS PARK - Three teenage students at Oak Park School were arrested on Tuesday after a teacher heard them talk about plans to set off acid bombs at John Hopkins Middle School. The students, ages 13, 14 and 15, had all been expelled from John Hopkins for various reasons in the last year. An acid bomb is a plastic bottle, often filled with various household chemicals, that can cause burning and other damage. The Sheriff's Office said the students just wanted to disrupt activities at their old school, and that they didn't have any materials. All three were charged with a felony count of conspiracy to plant a disruptive device.
