A teenager from Washington state was arrested last week on charges of hacking into an Orange County, Calif., 911 system and tricking the Orange County Sheriff’s Department into sending a SWAT team to an innocent couple’s home in Lake Forest. The accused perp, 19-year-old Randall Ellis, of Mulkiteo, Wash., will be brought to California where he’ll face felony charges for endangering the lives of the homeowners, who reports identified as Stacey Cerwin-Bates and Doug Bates. No one was hurt, but the whole thing could have ended in a tragedy.
