Ohio teens admit guilt in teen's hair fire on bus

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Three teenage boys have admitted to charges in the setting of a classmate’s hair on fire on a school bus in southwest Ohio.

A 17-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old boy entered guilty or “true” pleas today in Butler County Juvenile Court in Hamilton.

The 15-year-old and the 17-year-old pleaded to attempted aggravated assault and will remain in juvenile detention until sentencing May 27. The 16-year-old pleaded to disorderly conduct and will be electronically monitored at home until sentencing.

The Hamilton Journal News reports that 16-year-old Devin Lewis says he was on a Middletown school bus Feb. 4 when someone pulled off his hood. He says he jerked his head back when a student held a lighter in front of his face and another student then set his hair on fire.
