LINCOLN, Ark. (AP) - A Lincoln High School student and another teenager are charged with setting fire to a teacher's car in the middle of the class day. Officials say they were acting in retribution for the student being kicked out of the teacher's class.

Officials say 18 year-old Lincoln High senior Shawn Perkins had been kicked out of civics teacher Michelle Morris' class on Wednesday. Perkins and 19 year-old Nick Cortes, who officials said was not a student at the school, went to the campus yesterday.

Officials say the teenagers broke a passenger window on Morris' Volkswagen Beetle, poured a flammable liquid inside and ignited it. The car was a total loss.

The school's maintenance supervisor kept the boys until police got there.

Cortes and Perkins are being held without bond in the Washington County Jail. Both face felony arson and criminal mischief charges. They have a court hearing set for Monday.
