Reebel and Knowles were arrested Tuesday and charged with
disorderly conduct (720 ILCS 5/26-1, subsection (a)(3)), a Class 3
felony. Springer was arrested on Saturday and bond set at $30,000.
The bond set for Reebel and Knowles is also $30,000.
A 15-year-old juvenile had knowledge of the incident, and David
Rands of the state's attorney appellate prosecutor's office will
review the reports and determine if any charges will be made against
the juvenile.
The investigation has revealed that the students involved planned
and carried out the act after arriving at school Nov. 1 as a means
to get out of school.
This is a very unfortunate incident that put the student body,
staff, parents and community into a state of turmoil. The
investigation was diligently pursued over the weekend and culminated
Tuesday with arrests by the Lincoln Police Department. The Lincoln
Police Department appreciates the assistance from the Logan County
state's attorney's office, Illinois Secretary of State bomb squad,
Illinois State Police agents and agents from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The administration at LCHS was instrumental in their
assistance. The School Safety Plan was implemented and worked
flawlessly.

These arrests should send a message to the student body that these
actions will not be tolerated and that every investigative measure
will be taken to identify, arrest and prosecute those responsible.
