Ex-Student Charged After Putting Hitler Quotation in Yearbook, Police Say
The 18-year-old was charged with computer crimes after he used a school database to also alter another yearbook entry to refer to a Boston Marathon bomber, the police said.


Hollister Tryon, 18, a former student at Glastonbury High School, was arrested last week and charged with two counts of third-degree computer crimes, the police said.

Sometime before the yearbook’s publication in October, the police said, Mr. Tryon gained access to the database containing yearbook quotations submitted by students.

The police say he changed a student’s quotation to one attributed to Hitler, while misattributing it to George Floyd, whose murder in Minneapolis last year prompted nationwide calls for police reform.




Another student’s yearbook entry was changed by Mr. Tryon, the police said, to refer to drugs and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was convicted in the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that killed three people.

School officials in Glastonbury, which is about 10 miles southeast of Hartford, were made aware of the quotations in May, after the yearbooks were distributed, the police said.
