HUTCHINSON – A Kansas teen who entered a plea to a single count of conspiracy to commit capital murder in a threat at Hutchinson High School is scheduled for sentencing on Monday.

On June 6, Ayrton Marroquin, 14, Hutchinson, entered the plea in Juvenile Court.

Marroquin and 15-year-old Carson Cabral are accused of making threats against officials at Hutchinson High School.

The two were arrested on March 7, after several students came forward to express concerns about a threat to students.
Officers were called into investigate, and the two students were then taken into custody.

Several search warrants were issued which turned up plans for making pipe bombs as well as sketches and plans of where certain teachers and staff would be so they could be targeted.

Police also recovered items that could be used to build explosive devices, which were confiscated by law enforcement.

A psychiatric evaluation was ordered for Marroquin.
