Teen Pleads Guilty To Conspiracy In School Threat Case
Sentence Could Be 45 Days In Juvenile Program
One of three Fort Collins junior high school students accused of plotting an attack on a school pleaded guilty Tuesday to a conspiracy charge.
The 14-year-old boy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree assault. He faced a less serious charge than the other two boys as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Prosecutors said that the three boys drafted plans and gathered weapons that could have been used to attack Preston Junior High School.
The boy could face up to 45 days in a youth offender program or community service. His sentencing is scheduled for March 28.
