Mad over American Idol, or something else?

A 13-year-old was singing in the locker room at West Hernando Middle School when a classmate told him he should try out for American Idol, the St. Petersburg Times reports. According to an arrest report, the teen who had been singing then allegedly took a razor blade from his wallet, held it to the classmate’s neck and asked him to repeat what he said. The classmate managed to pull away and escape injury, the report said. The accused teen later admitted to putting the blade to the other boy’s neck because he was mad at him, according to the report.
