Alleged Roy High bomb plotter may be tried as an adult

OGDEN -- The Weber County Attorney's Office has filed a motion in 2nd District Juvenile Court to certify 16-year-old Joshua Kyler Hoggan as an adult for what officials say was his role in plotting to set off a bomb at Roy High School.

Hoggan and another Roy High student, Dallin Morgan, 18, were arrested Jan. 25 after police and school authorities uncovered what they say was a plot to set off a bomb during a school assembly, steal an airplane and fly out of the country.

Hoggan would normally be tried in juvenile court, which is less public and only has jurisdiction until he turns 18.
