Ashton Lundeby? Pled guilty to one count, sentenced to time served and 3 years probation.
He’s a local kid so I am very familiar with the case. It was not the way it was portrayed. He made prank calls to various schools and government agencies including the FBI. He recorded the calls and put them on the internet. In some of them his mother could be heard encouraging him and laughing in the background. Some of those calls were made for profit, someone wanted a day off from school school so they paid him to phone in a bomb threat. Many of his “pranks” used to be on youtube.
BTW, his mother claimed he as bring held under the Patriot Act, but that was not the case and retractions were issued by news agencies that reported it.
It was also reported that he was homeschooled. Not exactly the case or if sop not for long. I could not find out what happened at the private school he attended and why he was no longer attending there, but if he was homeschooling it was very short term.
Well I’m glad to hear it because it was reported all over the place that the kid was being held incognito for months.
Sounds like he got just about the right punishment for the crime.
