GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two 18-year-olds are facing several charges after court documents say they had a homemade “plasma cannon” on the property of Smith High School in Greensboro.
Solomon Caravello-Bell and Chayce Harricharan were arrested July 5, according to a magistrate’s order filed in Guilford County.
Court documents show Caravello-Bell and Harricharan are charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction, malicious use of an explosive to damage property, felony breaking and entering and possessing an explosive on educational property.
According to the magistrate’s order, investigators said the suspects had a homemade plasma cannon at Smith High School.
The court documents allege the device was used to burn a bush and damage a plexiglass door at the school.
The documents also allege Caravello-Bell and Harricharan broke into a building at 2407 S. Holden Road, which is the address for Smith High School, with the intent to commit a felony or larceny.

These juvies are getting the book thrown at them but probably nothing will happen to the juvies that attacked the cop.
They use the words ... but they don't know what the words mean.
Kudos for original thinking 😳
Was it a phased plasma gun in the 40 watt range?

LOLOL...now that’s a good one!
Huh.
Maybe I could gin one up and French the muzzle into the hood of my car forward of the Driver’s position...
He was giving it all she's got. Couldn't hold it together much longer.
Same here, LOL.
Were they phased and in the 40W range?
🤓👍🏻
Have you pulled the statute? If not, why would you assume the law wasn't written so broadly as to allow practically anything to called a weapon of mass destruction?
