Eagle Scout Theodore Hollot, a GA Tech freshman from PA, is in the Atlanta jail after he admitted to setting explosive water bottles (possibly containing dry ice and water) in a Tech courtyard. One exploded, giving a lawn guy ringing ears, when picked up. He's charged with felony possession of a destructive device and more.

Other students described the long-haired freshman as "Clever and friendly ... goofy and funny."

It is not known if he had earned the merit badge for "fun things that explode".
