Fake calls for aid lead to teenager

[Foxy Brown]

The teenager's mom became suspicious when she found radio equipment in his room. Equipment she hadn't bought.

She called Largo police. What she didn't know was that her son, a 15-year-old Clearwater High School student, was already wanted by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Federal Communications Commission.

Some kids go to football or band practice after school. This teen, whose name was not released by police Friday, is accused of using stolen marine radio equipment to place phony mayday calls to the Coast Guard, said Officer Sean Mahabir of the Largo Police Department.

A very valid point.

This kid is headed for serious punishment due to his actions.

He made the choice, now he must deal with the consequences.

He told police his motive was simple, Mahabir said: "He said he needed something to do."
