A seventh-grade Sikh student was arrested and handcuffed in front of shocked classmates after a "bully" accused him of hiding a bomb in his backpack — a claim his outraged family disputes.
Armaan Singh, 12, spent an entire weekend in juvenile detention after a classmate claimed the boy had a bomb in his backpack and threatened to blow up Nichols Junior High School in Arlington, a city of 380,000 people that neighbors Irving, where "clock kid" Ahmed Mohamed was arrested three months ago after his homemade clock was mistaken for an explosive device.
“I thought it was a joke so I started laughing and he started laughing,” Armaan told the Dallas Morning News (http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2015/12/arlington-isd-says-12-year-old-sikh-student-arrested-for-making-threat-family-disputes-account.html/) following the Dec. 11 arrest. “The next thing you know, I’m reading with my friend and police come in, grab me and take me outside."

Mother of Sikh Student Asks Bomb Threat Charges Be Dropped



By The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dec 18, 2015, 6:12 PM ET

The mother of a Sikh middle school student accused of threatening to detonate a bomb at his Texas school is asking police to drop charges, saying that her son never made such a threat.
Armaan Singh, 12, was arrested Dec. 11 after Arlington police said he admitted to making the threat while they were questioning him without his parents present. He spent three days in juvenile detention before being released and placed under house arrest with ankle monitor. He also was suspended from school.
His mother, Gurdeep Kaur, said a classmate asked whether a battery in Armaan's backpack was a bomb, and that he said it wasn't, but the classmate told the teacher he said it was.
There was no bomb in the backpack.
Kaur said the family didn't learn of Armaan's arrest until hours after it happened. She told The Associated Press that she panicked when he didn't come home from school, and after searching the apartment complex, they went to the school to look for him. She said they called the principal, who told them Armaan had been taken into custody.
Kaur said the family finally learned Armaan was in the detention center four hours after his arrest when they called 911.
She said when they arrived at the detention center late Friday, Armaan, who has had three open-heart surgeries, asked to be taken home. But she said there was no judge available to arrange his probation.
Police have rejected allegations that the boy's Sikh religion played a part in his arrest.
