St. George • The southern Utah teen accused of hanging an Islamic State flag at Hurricane High School and later attempting to ignite an explosive device at Pine View High School will remain in juvenile detention while the juvenile court case against him moves forward.
The order was issued by 5th District Juvenile Court Judge Paul Dame on Wednesday afternoon. It was the 16-year-old’s first court appearance since he was charged Monday with first-degree-felony attempted murder and possession of a weapon of mass destruction. He was also charged with graffiti, a class A misdemeanor, and abuse of the flag, a class B misdemeanor.
