Classmates describe defendants in alleged plot
The Joplin Globe
By Roger McKinney
Globe Staff Writer
RIVERTON, Kan. - Andrew Jaeger read "The Chronicles of Narnia" books by C.S. Lewis while he was jailed in the juvenile detention center in Girard.
Coy New is a fan of Chris Farley and computer games.
Caleb Byrd has been involved in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.
James Tillman has run in track.
Robby Hunt, like Jaeger, is a Boy Scout and is involved in FFA, a student agriculture organization.
Those are a few of the details that have emerged about the lives of the five Riverton High School students accused of plotting to shoot students and staff members at the school on April 20.
Despite the teens' outside appearances of normalcy, Labette County District Judge Robert Fleming said the description of the alleged plot he read in an affidavit frightened him.
"It suggested these kids were going to get together and shoot up half the school," Fleming said at a recent court hearing.
New, 18; Hunt, 17; Byrd, 16; and Jaeger 15, each are charged with felony incitement to riot and felony criminal threat. In addition to those charges, Tillman, 16, also is charged with felony solicitation to commit first-degree murder.
The Kansas attorney general's office is seeking to prosecute the juveniles as adults. No bond has been set for Tillman because of the more serious charge. Those who have made bond are under house arrest with electronic monitoring and under tight conditions including prohibitions from any contact with anyone at the school.
All but Tillman are expected to be in court on Tuesday. A hearing will be conducted on a prosecution motion to prosecute the juveniles as adults. New's preliminary hearing date is expected to be set.
Most of the information about the students comes from their fellow students.
Jaeger's parents and attorney cooperated, sharing a large amount of information about him, but they declined to share any specific information about the other students charged.
