A crazed Linkin Park fan found herself in the slammer after hacking into singer Chester Benningtons email and cell phone accounts. Devon Townsend probably now regrets listening to Numb hundreds of times while whacking-off over a photo of Bennington (Ok, I made that up, but you know she most likely did some dumb shit like that). Anyhoo, police arrested the Albuquerque, NM woman last weekend, claiming she used her work computer at Sandia National Laboratories, a national security support center, to gain access to private cell phone records of Bennington. Townsend also used the same computer to access the email account of Benningtons wife.
Court documents allege that Townsend obtained personal phone numbers that Bennington had called and pictures he had taken with his camera phone. Authorities believe she also hacked into the e-mail account of Bennington's wife, Talinda, a former Playboy model, and has made threatening phone calls to her.
Talinda Bennington reported the security breach on the couple's Verizon Wireless online account last month, saying that she was worried about a "stalker," according to a federal affadavit. Police traced the activity to Townsend, who admitted to the online hacking and the threatening calls, the affadavit states. A search of Townsend's house then turned up Linkin Park memorabilia.
Benningtons reps declined to comment on the crazy broad.
wow, i like Linkin Park and all, but that's twisted. and yeah, chester looks like a Wal-Mart employee. but damn, fame and money can land some arm candy!
I liked Linkin Park. For about 5 minutes. Then I actually listened to the lyrics, and promptly threw my friends copy of reanimation out of the car window. They should be classified as emo, just for how whiney their songs are. And how for how much they suck.
Devin Townsend is the chick who did the hacking, also happens to be the same name of metal guru (Strapping Young Lad and Devin Townsend Band). I was confused for a minute as well.

Well, at least she didn't stalk Scott Stapp.
Scott Stapp would have been thrilled, and she probably would have been invited to his house rather than thrown into the slammer..... assumining of course he is still "alive".
