Cops Track Drug Suspect to Ottawa by WoW

As a longtime WoW player,Do you ever think that playing a game could help cops track you down? Cops in Indiana have wizards to thank for catching up with a wanted man hiding in Ottawa. Not real wizards, though, but rather the kind you find in the online video World of Warcraft, aka WoW.Alfred Hightower was wanted on drug charges by police. Because the type of game he was using was online, all anyone needed was his IP address to find the computer he was playing on. Investigators in Kokomo, Ind. managed to convince Activision Blizzard, the company which operates the game, to do just that.Once the American cops received a billing address, computer IP address, online screen name, and preferred server, they contacted the RCMP and Hightower was picked up.According to the website Geek.com, Hightower's online identity in the game involving witches and warlocks was Rastlyn. The site is attempting to start on online chat to find out if he was arrested while playing with his character-a level 80 Tauren Shaman. So the police used the Internet to make an arrest.
