sexual predators are routinely released all over Idaho to get themselves to

Juvenile shooting suspect back in custody after pipe bomb found<br>
<br>
HELMER -- One of the two juveniles arrested in connection with the<br>
shooting of up to 20 vehicles on State Highway 8 last week has been taken<br>
back into custody after investigators found a pipe bomb at his residence<br>
during a search Thursday, according to the Latah County Sheriff's Office.<br>
<br>
Deputies were executing a search warrant as part of the investigation into<br>
the Jan. 22 shootings, according to a news release this afternoon from Lt.<br>
Brannon Jordan. Officials evacuated the area around the home, and a bomb<br>
squad from Spokane responded and neutralized the device, according to<br>
Jordan.<br>
<br>
Austin Blake Medlock and Austin James Rickert, both 14-year-old freshmen<br>
at Deary High School, allegedly used two .22-caliber rifles and a crossbow<br>
to shoot at the vehicles, according to court records. The news release<br>
does not specify which teen was taken back into custody, and a dispatcher<br>
at the sheriff's office said she was told not to release the suspect's<br>
name.<br>
<br>
The teen arrested Thursday is now charged with felony unlawful possession<br>
of bombs or destructive devices in addition to the earlier charge of<br>
unlawfully discharging a firearm at a vehicle, according to the news<br>
release.<br>
<br>
County Magistrate John Judge released Medlock and Rickert to their parents<br>
after a hearing Monday on the condition that neither leave the sight of<br>
one of their parents, that all guns be removed from their homes, that they<br>
not touch a firearm, that the parents take them to and from school, that<br>
they both wear electronic monitoring devices and that they agree to be<br>
searched at any time by authorities.<br>
<br>
No one was injured in the shootings, but one bullet passed through the<br>
passenger compartment of one car, narrowly missing two girls.<br>
