Douglas Boudreau, 22, of Warwick, R.I., pleaded guilty Thursday to interception of wire communications, unauthorized access to a computer system, larceny, identity fraud and other charges. After collecting the personal information, Boudreau reconfigured his own campus ID card to make purchases and illegally enter school buildings, Attorney General Tom Reilly said. He used the newly encoded cards at the book store, dining hall, and laundry rooms, stealing about $2,000 in goods and services. In addition to the probation, Judge Carol S. Ball ordered Boudreau to go into counseling, pay back the school and agree to computer monitoring. No telephone number was listed for a Douglas Boudreau in Warwick. - ISN is currently hosted by Attrition.org To unsubscribe email majordomo () attrition org with 'unsubscribe isn' in the BODY of the mail.
