A 15 year-old Douglas County, Georgia high school student has been
charged with five felonies, including burglary and arson, after
sheriff's deputies caught him while responding to a 1 AM fire at
Alexander High School. The boy admitted to investigators that he set fire to a computer
after trying, unsuccessfully, to hack into the school computer system
to change his grade on a failed test. "It's very sad and tragic. He
could have very easily come to one of his counselors and asked for
help," said Lt. Glenn Daniel with the Douglas County Sheriff's
Department. "From what we can tell, (the student) was mad and frustrated
because he could not hack into the system." Lt. Daniel said the
charges could land the young man in prison for several years. The
computer lab was cleaned up and re-opened in time for the start of that
day's classes.
