There is a little more to it than a kid writing a stupid story.
In court Tuesday, police released some of Poole's writings, and they contradict some of what he told LEX 18 in his interview. Poole says he wrote the short story for English class. Not so, according to police. They say his teachers deny knowing about such writings, and add if they did, the teachers would have reported their concerns about the contents to school officials.
Some of the details Poole wrote about included wanting to assemble a group of boys he called "True Soldiers and "No Limit Soldiers" to take over a high school.
Police say they've interviewed seven George Rogers Clark High School students who say Poole tried to recruit them into his group.
Investigators add that Poole wrote about bringing weapons and tools into a school. And, perhaps most disturbing, they say Poole wrote down what he called "Dates of Death", which happened to be February 19 and 20 of 2005 - dates mentioned that were just two days before police arrested Poole.
He also wrote extensively about taking over the school in his journal, and had communication with a man who claimed he would provide weapons and cash. I’m sure there are plenty of outrageous felony charges out there, but this one I’m thinking not so much.
