Write a zombie story, go to jail

By at 11:46 am Friday, Mar 4

William Poole, high school student in Lexington, Kentucky was arrested for writing a short story for his English class about zombies overtaking a school. This short item doesn't say what the charges were, but the headline states he was "arrested for terroristic threatening." It must have been a pretty scary story, as the judge jacked up the kid's bond from one to five thousand dollars. Maybe Hollywood will option his zombie story and he'll get rich. Link
