A Rushville High School senior faces a felony charge after taking a blow-up doll to school as part of what he claims was a prank. School officials called police after a package was found in a girls' bathroom. A deflated blow-up doll was later found inside the box.
Tyell Morton, 18, was arrested on a preliminary charge of felony criminal mischief after he admitted to taking the doll to school. He said it was meant to be a senior prank.
"I'm facing eight years for a doll, a plastic doll," Morton said. "I didn't put anybody's name on it, nothing. Now I'm a terrorist for a prank gone wrong. It's life-changing. It's traumatizing."
The family's attorney, Robert Turner, said the charge is excessive. "It's interesting that had he gone to school with a gun, there would've been a lesser charge. It would've been a Class D felony with up to three years," he said. Morton has since been released on bail. He is banned from school property and will miss his graduation ceremony.
I totally get it. Tyrell has been identified as the new leader of al Qaeda now that Bin Laden has been killed. No doubt Homeland Security has figured out that terrorists were planning to hijack airplanes using blow up dolls. The dolls were to be used to seduce unsuspecting pilots and then they would overpower the pilots and takeover the planes. What can I say other than brilliant!
