Teen will stand trial as adult for alleged bomb

A 16-year-old student faces trial as an adult next month in northeast Georgia on charges that he took a bomb into a high school. Andrew Thomas Criswell of Pendergrass is accused of taking the bomb to Jackson County Comprehensive High School's main office April 12th. No injuries were reported, but school officials evacuated 1,700 students because of the threat. Criswell was charged as a juvenile, but a juvenile court judge transferred the case to Superior Court, where a grand jury indicted Criswell in September.
