Stephen Gollinger stood next to his son 15-year-old Logan Gollinger and the defense attorneys who asked a judge to release the boy to his father.

Investigators accused Logan and 14-year-old Juan Banos of posting threats for five days in November about attacking Somerset Academy in Pembroke Pines.
Police officers arrested Logan and his mother, Elizabeth Smith, on Jan. 3, in Amsterdam, a city in New York’s Montgomery County.

Juan Banos, a 14-year-old boy from Michigan, surrendered on Jan. 15, in Broward County, and his criminal case is also still pending.
Investigators accused Smith of instructing her son to delete evidence. She faces a charge of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence.
Both teens face charges of threat to throw, project, place, or discharge any destructive device; unlawful use of a two-way communications device, threats or harassment, and disruption of an educational institution.
Pembroke Pines detectives worked with the FBI, ATF, the New York State Police, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
