Neck student says he has bomb in laptop computer

A 19-year-old Waccamaw High School student was charged with disorderly conduct after he was accused of making bomb threats using his laptop.
Christian Tyler Reynolds was taken into custody at the school after telling other students that he had placed an explosive device inside his laptop, and if someone entered the wrong password three times, it would explode.
No one would approach the laptop, according to the incident report.
Students told police that Reynolds then took a piece of his laptop and told another classmate that the piece contained gunpowder.
Another person overheard the conversation, police said, and saw someone trying to enter the wrong password in the computer.
“When the laptop did not explode, Mr. Reynolds said he would reset it tonight because he must have wired it wrong,” the police report said.
Police questioned Reynolds and placed the school in a fire alert drill. Students were removed from the building, police said.  
“I advised Mr. Reynolds what was reported to me, and he agreed that he said it, but that he really didn’t mean it,” police said. “Mr. Reynolds advised there was no explosive device in his laptop.”
