Cops: No Evidence Ahmed Meant to Alarm

Won’t be charging 14-year-old.

Police in Texas said they are not pursuing charges against MacArthur High School student Ahmed Mohamed. “We have no evidence that there was an intention to create alarm,” Irving Police Chief Larry Boyd said at a press conference Wednesday about the teen whose homemade clock was mistaken for a bomb. “I couldn’t speak to whether [the device] works for sure, but it’s not an explosive device.” A spokeswoman for the Irving Independent School District added that the information released to this point has been “very biased,” and added that the school would release its version of what transpired after receiving written permission from Mohamed’s parents.
