Delinquency; restitution
Michael S.L. appeals from a restitution order requiring him to perform 200 hours of community service after he was adjudicated delinquent for disorderly conduct. The charge stemmed from a series of events culminating in a bomb threat called in by one of Michael’s friends in Michael’s presence. Michael contends that the facts to which he admitted did not include involvement in the bomb scare, so restitution cannot be ordered for damage stemming from the bomb threat. We disagree. It is clear that his inappropriate and disorderly behavior, in combination with the behavior of his friends, led to the bomb scare. The trial court was within its discretion based on the facts of the petition to order restitution to the school. This opinion will not be published.
