Pipe Bomb Found At Helena Youth Home
Helena police say a 15-year-old boy living in a group home was arrested after a live pipe bomb was found in the boy's backpack. Police Chief Troy McGee says a 6-inch long PVC pipe bomb was found Saturday afternoon at the Margaret Stuart Group Home. The facility was evacuated and a bomb technician was called in to dispose of the bomb. McGee says the device was live and could have detonated. The boy was arrested on suspicion of felony criminal endangerment and possession of a deadly weapon in a youth facility and was taken to a juvenile detention center in Great Falls. McGee said officers did not learn what the boy planned to do with the bomb.
