These are two articles about John Falcon's arrest that appeared

Police Report 
  
Hacker accused of computer fraud 
A 20-year-old Anchorage man has been charged with four counts  
related to computer fraud. Donald Max Fanning is accused of  
breaking into a computer system at a Seattle-based company and  
illegally charging phone calls to the Federal Aviation  
Administration and MarkAir. The charges also allege that  
Fanning stole property from Elmendorf Air Force Base and  
illegally obtained a password that could have allowed him to  
break into a government computer. Fanning is scheduled to be  
arraigned in U.S. District Court today.

Hacker gets 20-month sentence 
  
By S.J. Komarnitsky 
Daily News Reporter 
  
     An Anchorage man convicted of computer hacking has  
been sentenced to 20 months in federal prison.  
     Donald Max Fanning was also ordered to pay $21,000 in  
restitution and perform 200 hours of community service. 
     Fanning, 20, pleaded guilty in June to two counts of  
computer fraud, one count of fradulant use of an access  
device, and theft of U.S. government property. 
     Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Torgerson said the charged  
included stealing computer equipment from Elmendorf Air Force  
Base, illegally charging more than $1,700 in long-distance  
calls to the Federal Aviation Administration and MarkAir, and  
breaking into a Seattle-based computer company. (Typist: I  
know this to be Tera Computer) 
     Fanning also posted the code he used to charge calls  
to the FAA on a voice-mail system. 
     Torgerson said Wednesday that most of the money -  
about $14,000 - would go to the Air Force to cover the cost of  
the stolen equipment. An additional $4,800 would go to the  
Seattle company to repay its costs in tracking Fanning down,  
while the remainder would be given to the FAA and MArkAir to  
pay for the phone calls. 
     Fanning will be on probation for three years following  
his release. As part of his sentence, he will not be allowed  
to own or use any computer during that time.
