Joseph Thomas Hansen, 18, was arrested Aug. 23, the day before he was scheduled to begin his senior year at Sisseton High School. Police arrested the teen after a school resource officer received a tip about Hansen's suspected plot.
Hansen allegedly told some of his co-workers that he had enough fireworks to blow up Sisseton High School, and that the first day of class would be a short one. Authorities searched his room and seized weapons, ammunition and materials used to make explosives, as well as a diagram of the school and notes about the campus' lockdown policy.
Previously, school officials discovered that Hansen had researched the 1999 Columbine school massacre.
