federal judge for his arraignment.

He said very little, and did not
respond to the charge, but an affidavit
from investigators provides more
details about the case..

It describes how a deputy opened
the trunk of Uhl's car, smelled gas and
saw a cookie tin with five red
cylindrical objects. They appeared to
have fuses.

Bomb technicians from the
Virginia State Police determined the
devices contained a mixture of
gasoline, oil and styrofoam and
described them as a home made napalm
explosive device.

While one of the devices
apparently contained nails, Uhl told
investigators he was going to set the
devices off in a field and run away.
Uhl said he he knew it was a wrong to
have the napalm, but that he did not
want to hurt anyone.>>

The infection showed up on the

The director of the Community
School says the student is getting
treatment at this time and will not
return to class until at least next
week.

In the meantime, the school has
disinfected the building and the

Mersa is a common type of
bacteria that is spread by close
contact with the infected person or the
things they touch.

Symptoms of this staph infection
can include redness, warmth, puss or a
wound that doesn't heal.
