sirtom93 arrested - TL;DR edition

Posted by Rig - March 17th, 2009


In the press:

By the way, you media folks, Newgrounds is not a social networking website. It's an animation and music website, the first of its kind, and still the best one around.

"Shame Deckheadtottie isn't getting more recognition in the media. He was the one who called sirtom93's school and that seemed to be the action that really got the ball rolling to stop sirtom93. I believe deckheadtottie also relayed the most information about sirtom93 to the police and the school." - Wade Fulp
This is true. Someone talk to him.

Press Association, #2
BBC Article, #2
Norwich Evening News, #2 (mentions deckheadtottie!), #3, #4 (my interview)
Yahoo! News
EDP24, #2, #3
The Sun
Mail Online
Telegraph
Mercury 24

You know what, there are too many articles out there for me to catalogue them all. Google it. lol

I've been interviewed by too many media outlets to remember. deckheadtottie has talked with the Diss Express and Global.

Time: EST (GMT)

March 17th

6:40 AM (10:40 AM)
Thomas Briggs, aka sirtom93, claims that he's gonna burn his school down at 11:30 AM GMT. Also made a thread here.

Wade provides information to deckheadtottie, who relays to cops.

7:30 AM (11:30 AM)
Thomas Briggs personal info found, relayed to cops via the thread and the school via deckheadtottie.

10:52 AM (2:52 PM)
School phones deckheadtottie and informs him that the matter is being dealt with and the police are involved.

11:40 AM (3:40 PM)
Thomas Briggs arrested before damage dealt. Detective calls me asking for information about other NG users.

12:10 PM (4:10 PM)
The school phones deckheadtottie and says the matter has been dealt with, thanks to NG.

12:40 PM (4:40 PM)

I got information on the second guy, and sent it off to the detective.

Tom is still in custody, under the mental health act.

March 18th

Tom was able to make a few phone calls from prison. He said that he never intended to do it, that he brought the knife, matches, and supposedly flammable liquid into school to show off or something.
DON'T SAY YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO BURN A SCHOOL DOWN IF YOU DON'T ACTUALLY TRY TO BURN A SCHOOL DOWN.

May 30th
I got an unconfirmed report that he's being held in a "secure psychiatric unit".

Early March, 2010
Preliminary hearings begin.

November 2010
He's been tried, charged, and is staying in a secure hospital unit. He won't be released until approved by a medical board.

Hope he gets better.

sirtom93 shouldn't of told us but he decided to make the brain cells stand back then do it

this was a more informative article than that stupid bbc one. <a href="http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/content/news/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&category=NewsSplash&tBrand=ENOnline&tCategory=NewsSplash&itemid=NOED17%20Mar%202009%2020">http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/conten t/news/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&

Yep, it's been added.

Rig, you are a hero.

Thanks you.

*bows*

Rise, my son, and tell the world what you have seen.

now on yahoo...

Ah right, got it.

Missed the action, but still glad what could've been is prevent or otherwise *shudders*

Wow... Epic!

Now they won't get to say that the internet is promoting violence!

Well done to the efforts of Rig, Deckheadtottie (and his secret informant), and other various informants. Your quick actions potentially saved a number of innocent lives.

As for Sirtom..."DO NOT PASS GO, GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL."

Can I has $200? :3

It may escalate in the British Morning when it is more shocking to mothers sending their children to school. Morning starts here in seven hours.

p.s. I'm the guy currently scanning the BBC News Channel for a mention, posting on the thread.

Good work to think he may have done this shudders.

Like no one wanted to burn down a place or two

Well done. Newgrounds saves the day. ;3

All I can say is 'oh wow'.
Kinda shocked he was one of the NG London Meet 3 attendees.

Freaky shit. Someone who i talked to occasionally on msn was a would be mass murder. Or just an arsonist, sorry i haven't read into all of this too much as of now.

Also, "His computer has been siezed and is being analyzed"... uh oh.

Does anyone have a rough idea of what the punishment would be?

Depends on what he's charged with.

It's a good thing the articles don't actually mention Newgrounds. After all we don't want to let the public think we're raising more Jeff Weises.

We aren't. But anyone can spin this story any way they want.

Bah, this needs an edit button.

The Thread is locked by Wade due to people joking on it, and how long it has been on. I can be unlocked, according to him if and when new information arises.

Dunno, why it's me who's saying this, I don't speak to Mods.

p.s. Is it possible to keep this off of Digg? I don't think anyone wants negative advertisement.

It's ok - I don't really count as a mod. :C
Don't know about the digg thing.

Good job dealing with him, Rig (and deckhead)!

NOW WITH THE PARODY THREADS/FLASHES! =P

I just wanted a post in the thread to be a part of newgrounds history. Sadly it locked seconds before I pushed the post button.

This news post is just as epic. ;3

Good job on the arrest guys! Give yourselves a pat on a back! Now that you're done reveling in the moment, GET BACK TO WORK.

But in all seriousness, you guys are heroes. Had it not been for your job, innocent people could have died.

Now that all is said and done, GET BACK TO WORK.

But...but...

:'C

Epic congratulations, guys. What with all the news about people being encouraged by the internet to commit crimes, it's nice to see the internet stop a crime for once.

Damn this is the first time i've ever seen a site bring down a criminal.Looks like we actually prevented a total tragedy.
