A 15-year-old juvenile told arson investigators he set a stack of toilet paper on fire at his high school, then returning to class, letting the fire burn without telling anyone, authorities say.

A school resource officer, Deputy Russell Rice, was hospitalized for smoke inhalation after the incident.

The boy told arson investigators he set the fire because he was "bored," according to authorities.
