Hey, do you remember Ashton Lundeby? He was the Oxford teen arrested for calling in bomb threats to schools across the country for money? And how many media outlets, including Raleigh TV station WRAL, ran with the “he was arrested under the EVIL Patriot Act” meme? And so many Lefties ate it up? Even after they found out that the arrest had nothing to do with the Patriot Act? And mommy dearest proclaimed his innocence? Yeah, about that
Ashton Lundeby, 17, was arrested in March 2009 on charges that he and others allowed Web gamers to pay fees to listen to and observe police responses to bomb threats.
Threats were made to numerous colleges, including Purdue University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Clemson University and Florida State University, as well as to FBI offices in Louisiana and Colorado, according to federal court records.
Lundeby last week filed a petition to plead guilty in federal court in Indiana to one count of criminal conspiracy in the case. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the charge.
Have fun in the pokey.
