> detectives were provided with a list of computers that had
> been assigned
> an IP address associated with threats made against an area family. The
> police arrested a man whose name appeared on the list; they failed to
> notice that the IP address in question had been assigned to
> his computer
> long before the cyber threats occurred, but was no longer assigned to
> his computer. The man was released within 24 hours after police
> realized the threats were continuing even while he was in custody and
> had no access to a computer. The police later arrested a 13-year-old
> girl who it suspects had been making the threats against her
> own family.
