(UPDATED) Attorneys for teens accused in threat case at Hutch High waive detention hearings

Hutchinson High School

HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The Reno County District Attorney’s Office Wednesday afternoon filed charges against the two teens who allegedly planned violence at Hutchinson High School.

A charge of conspiracy to commit capital murder was filed against 14-year-old Ayrton Marroquin and 15-year-old Carson Cabral. The threat was made against officials at Hutch High.

The two teens were scheduled for detention hearings Thursday morning, but according to District Attorney Keith Schroeder, their attorney’s waived the hearings, so no hearings will be held at this time.

According to USD 308 Spokesperson Ray Hemman several students came forward just after 8 a.m. Tuesday to express concerns about a threat to students. The school Resource Officer was notified and other officers were called into investigate.

According to Capt. Troy Hoover the two students were taken into custody and during search warrants, they recovered plans for making pipe bombs as well as sketches and plans of where certain teachers and staff would be so they could be targeted.

They also recovered items that could be used to build explosive devices which were confiscated by law enforcement.
