A 16-year-old girl has been expelled from school and charged with two adult felonies for causing an explosion in a water bottle.
Kiera Wilmot, described as a 'good kid' by her high school principal, was mixing aluminum foil and toilet cleaner in the bottle when it exploded before school on Monday morning.
The screw-top on the 8oz bottle blew off as pressure built within the container.
She told the assistant principal, who found her after hearing a bang, that she 'thought it would just cause some smoke', 10 News reports.
She said she was not trying to hurt anyone or disrupt the school and was conducting a science fair experiment.
But her science teacher said no such experiment had been set for students and the assistant principal called police.
When police arrived they handcuffed Wilmot and charged her with possession or discharge of a weapon on school grounds and discharging a destructive device.
'She is a good kid,' school principal Ron Pritchard told 10 News. 'She has never been in trouble before. Ever.
:clap
'MURICA, got another one, chalk one up for the good guys, freedom ain't free, not a dry eye, Jason Witten carrying two 'skins into the endzone with the clock expiring, etc
