An honor student and football star at San Ysidro High School was arrested Friday on three felony charges after allegedly bringing homemade bombs to school as a senior prank.
Elphbert Laforteza, 18, is in San Diego County jail for allegedly bringing a dozen acid-based devices to the school and placing them in trash cans. Six of the devices exploded, forcing school officials to order a lockdown and call police.
No one was injured, but the explosions were heard throughout the school. Laforteza is being held in lieu of $860,000 bail. Laforteza has been selected to attend the Air Force Academy.
