HAMMOND -- A Hammond Central School student has been charged with possessing a homemade explosive device in a locker in school.
State Police were called to the school at 1:57 p.m. Tuesday, after school officials discovered the device in a gym locker.
School officials started a search after they were alerted by other students that a student possessed the device.
Police recovered a test tube containing black powder and a fuse. A machete and hunting knife were also recovered.
The student, whose name is being withheld due to age, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and released to the custody of parents.
