Teens arrested for Splinter Cell style “mission” at Washington school

Teenagers are always looking for adventures, but how bored do they have to be to go on a “mission” at their local high school in Kingston, Washington?

According to the North Kitsap Herald, police busted five teens, four 18-year-olds and a 15-year-old, who entered Kingston High School November 4, 2007 by climbing the school and entering a door located on the roof. Once inside the teens relieved their boredom by pushing each other around in a wheeled garbage can through the halls.

While playing around and having fun, the teens set off the school’s security alarm around 1 a.m. and, because the alarm included an audio device, the dispatchers could hear the teens talking. The teens were so busy trying to find a place to hide that when the sheriff’s deputies could see one of the students walking through the hallways wearing a black mask and tactical vest.

It wasn’t long before the deputies figured out how the kids got into the school. They found a ladder propped against the wall to the school’s second floor roof and a rope they were using to access the third floor roof. Which the deputies used to gain access to the roof and quickly found all five students hiding inside an air conditioning unit.

Once the deputies got all five teens on the ground, the kids pleaded that they never intended to vandalize or steal from the school, they just wanted to “climb something.” The youngest of the group said she and her friends just wanted to go on a mission after playing Splinter Cell and decided to go to the school.

Three of the 18-year-olds were booked at the Kitsap County Jail for second degree burglary with bail set at $10,000, the fourth 18-year-old was charged for second degree burglary and possession of burglary tools setting his bail at $10,500. The 15-year-old was sent to juvenile detention for second degree burglary.
