A Hempfield Area High School sophomore spent 12 days in juvenile detention after authorities in Westmoreland County mistakenly charged him with making a March 11 bomb threat, in part because the district had not changed its clocks to reflect daylight-saving time.

County juvenile detention officials wanted to keep Webb in custody, Andrews said. "They wanted him to have a mental health evaluation because he wouldn't admit to making the call."

"Legally, we were OK. We didn't step on this kid's rights," said Mike Sturnick, supervisor for the juvenile probation office.

You imprisoned someone for 12 days and accused them of being insane because you can't count. You should be apologizing and not making excuses.

Didn't step on his rights? They arrest the kid, stick him in juvie, try to ram a psych eval down his throat and keep him for close to two weeks because they're too goddamn stupid to read a clock. First they should be fired, then they should be stuck in jail for two weeks just like this kid.
