Lars O'Mara, an 18-year-old senior at Panhandle HS has been arrested after planting a fake "bomb" in the school's bathroom.
The "bomb" was just an original Game Boy handheld, an old cell phone, and a bunch of wires.
Another student alerted the police after seeing the device taped underneath a sink, and the school was quickly evacuated.
The police say O'Mara admitted to the hoax, and did so to "gain popularity and get people out of class."
The student now faces felony charges of manufacturing a hoax explosive device.
