A contestant in the upcoming Miss Utah beauty pageant was arrested on Saturday after admitting to helping make explosive devices and throwing them at houses and residents of her Salt Lake City suburb.
According to KUTV-TV, 18-year-old Kendra Gill and three friends, John Reagh, Shanna Smith and Bryce Stone, told authorities in Riverton, Utah, that they bought household chemicals, aluminum foil and plastic bottles to make the devices, which they then threw out of Smiths car while riding through the area late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Gill was crowned Miss Riverton in June, which qualified her for the state competition.

The Salt Lake City Tribune reported that materials matching the description of the debris left behind by the bombs were found in Stones trunk. The four suspects were charged with 10 counts each of setting off incendiary devices. Riverton Unified Fire Authority Capt. Clint Mecham told KUTV the devices had the potential to spark a fatal incident.

Thank goodness (sarcasm) they were white. Otherwise they'd have likely been charged as terrorists
