A Montgomery
County student, who was
honored by President Bush for exposing a peer's Columbine-style attack plan, has admitted
to taking part in a series of break-ins at the home of the teenage plotter.
The student and two other teens admitted to numerous break-ins at the Plymouth Township home of 46-year-old Michelle
Cossey.
Cossey's 14-year-old son is currently in a juvenile treatment center after admitting
to planning an attack at Plymouth
Whitemarsh High
School.
One of the three students accused in the break-ins was hailed a hero in October
after he tipped off authorities to his friend's 'plot-to-kill.'
During a search of the Cosseys' Plymouth
Township home, police
confiscated dozens of weapons, including a 9mm rifle, various knives and
air-powered guns along with books on how to construct bombs and videos of the
1999 Columbine attack.
The hero teen told police his friend tried to recruit him for the attack. In
juvenile court Friday, the hero teen admitted to breaking into his friend's
house.
Sources said the Cosseys' home was broken into numerous times between January
and February with video games and money allegedly taken from inside the home.
The three teen suspects turned themselves into police on Thursday. All are
expected to be sentenced at a later date.
