Powell's road to arrest started in September 2009 when he was fired from his position at BSAS. Why he got canned, we do not know. But what he did next was creepy. According to court records, Powell spent at least 32 days hanging out on BSAS's computer system post-canning, using his still-active passcode to install keylogging software to steal employee passwords and generally wreak havoc.
Powell accessed at least five employee email accounts, forwarding some of their emails to other employees — which no doubt resulted in a lot of awkward office encounters the next day (as anyone ever emailed smack about fellow employees can imagine). Pretending to be BSAS CEO Greg Warren, Powell also composed a fake email in LOL- Kendal thief Stephen Kirkbride wears stolen jacket to court in Kendal
Kirkbride, 46, who was found guilty of stealing the £125 coat, was caught red-handed when staff from Kendal’s Sports Direct shop recognised the very jacket they accused him of taking when he turned up to court with it on.The jacket itself, a designer-label Craghopper waterproof, was draped over a chair while the defendant stood in front of the judge at South Lakeland Magistrates’ Court.

It seems that the mystery man recently allowed to fly on a US Airways flight wearing little but women’s underwear has been spotted at numerous airports around the country in a variety of similarly skimpy outfits. Late yesterday, readers sent msnbc.com more photos of the flashy-flier and pointed out videos of him that have been posted on YouTube. The San Francisco Chronicle also published an interview with the photogenic passenger on the condition that it not publish his name. It turns out he’s a business consultant who flies as a preferred customer on US Airways and often dresses in female clothing to make business travel more fun. "It has never been my intent to put people in a situation where they feel uncomfortable," the man told the Chronicle during a phone interview. "I try to respect other people's opinions. As long as my dress is not indecent from a legal perspective, and so long as the airline does not object, I have the right to wear what I wear. And others have the right to wear what they want to wear."
