Waseca teen opts for felony conviction over 10-year probation in bomb plot

WASECA, MINN. – John LaDue walked out of the Waseca County courthouse on Tuesday free of probation, but with a felony officially on his record.

The Waseca teen who had planned a massacre at his school more than two years ago chose to forgo up to 10 years of voluntary probation for his crime in exchange for a felony conviction.

LaDue pleaded guilty last fall to one count of possessing an explosive device. Initially he agreed to the voluntary probation in an attempt to keep a felony conviction off his record. If he successfully met the terms of the probation, the felony would have been reduced to a misdemeanor.
