Dear Internet,
The "clock kid" was never arrested for making a bomb. He was arrested for possessing a "hoax bomb." The teachers and police never thought it was real. But it is a crime to posses such a device and "make another believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device" or to "cause [an] alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies."
The police determined there was no intent to make anyone believe it was a bomb, or to cause alarm, and so he was released.
So to all of you who thinks he was arrested for making a bomb, or that the teachers or police thought it was a bomb ... you're wrong. Stop it.
