In a rare series of events stemming from last Tuesday, Keene Police have arrested Keene State College freshman Carlton Rains for position of explosives. An anonymous tip was received by KPD last Tuesday regarding loud noises coming from Holloway Hall on KSC campus.
The tipper said he would hear minor explosions and then loud cackling, almost as if a “mad scientist was at work.” As it turns out, there was a laboratory next door. When police ransacked Rains’ room, they found a small amount of dynamite as well as three remote controlled triggers.
Also found were multiple cans of Amp, Red Bull and Monster energy drinks. Upon question Rains, police discovered the health science major was working to create a new-age energy drink that would literally give consumers a boost.
“When mixed with the sugars and guarana seed extract the dynamite will create a bubbling sensation inside the stomach that will literally give users an added bounce to their step,” Rains said. KPD are split as to what to do with Rains. Officer Maya Kerry sympathized with Rains attempts. “I mean, the kid had a good idea. I know I could definitely use an extra boost during some of my shifts.”
Officer Ken Doll disagreed and said Rains should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. “You can’t have someone experimenting with explosives in a college dorm. This kid’s going down,” Doll said. For now, the fate of KSC’s mad scientist is still up in the air. Rains remains incarcerated in the Monadnock County Jail.
