Texas teen arrested for homemade clock
The war on the unusual claimed another victim on Monday. [dallasnews.com]
When 9th-grader Ahmed Mohamed showed his homemade clock to his English teacher at MacArthur High in Irving, Texas, on Monday, she responded, “It looks like a bomb,” the gadget wizard told the The Dallas Morning News.
The next thing he knew, he was pulled out of class and interrogated by a room full of police shortly before being handcuffed and taken to a juvenile detention center.
