After a homemade bomb-throwing spree, Utah beauty queen Kendra Gill, crowned Miss Riverton in June, and three friends were arrested on Saturday just outside Salt Lake City.<br /><br />The pageant winner allegedly helped make homemade bombs that, according to investigators, were constructed from household chemicals, aluminum foil and plastic water bottles.<br /><br />The teens allegedly targeted people and homes in a Riverton neighborhood.<br /><br />Witnesses heard what sounded like explosions and gunshots and reported seeing the devices thrown from a dark-colored vehicle. Investigators were told by a resident of one of the targeted homes that Bryce Stone, Gill's former boyfriend, owned a vehicle matching the description.<br /><br />Stone later told investigators he was just "pranking' with fireworks with friends".<br /><br />Captain Clint Mecham of the Unified Fire Authority, however, viewed the teenage troupe's bomb-fueled escapades somewhat differently. <br /><br />"We call them chemical reaction bombs," he told Fox 13 News. "They're a cocktail of reactive chemicals, that when they react with each other and when you put that large volume of gas in a closed container, it ruptures the container and creates an explosion."<br /><br />"They were actually throwing these at people with the intent to cause harm, with the intent to cause harm to either people or property: This goes well beyond a teenage prank, Mecham said."<br /><br />The teens were each released on Sunday on a $50,000 bail. Sadly for Gill, the $2,000 she received as in winnings as pageant winner, is designated for college scholarship and probably couldn't be used as collateral when she posted bail.<br /><br />If her case ends up in court, hopefully Gill can wow county judges with a different kind of song and dance number.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
