FELONY DEPOSITING EXPLOSIVES NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 10236) (Chandler Police Department DR No. 11-05-2808): Mr. S was a 15 year old High School student who made a “works” bomb out of toilet bowl cleaner with tin foil and a plastic bottle. He and his friends threw it at another friend’s house and damaged their garage door when it exploded. The explosion caused $3500 of damage. The Chandler Police Department indicated that they were going to charge Mr. S with Depositing Explosives under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-3104A. We were able to intervene and negotiate a civil settlement with the people who owned the house. Because of this, we were able to convince the Detective and Prosecutors not to proceed forward with charges.
