guilty plea on the red box.

When Cummings was originally put on probation years ago, the probation
officer told him he thought the whole thing was a big waste of time.
The only thing he was accused of, after all, was taking batteries out
of a tone dialer that a cop was questioning him about. And the really
ironic part was that Cummings wasn't even the person who took the
batteries out - it was one of his friends. But he was not about to turn
a friend in for something so absurd. After all, this was a very minor
thing - he paid a fine of nearly $3,000 and was put on probation and that
was it.

When the Secret Service threw Cummings in prison for possession of a red
box in early 1995, they knew he could be screwed again when he finally
got out since being arrested is a probation violation.

And Special Agent Thomas Varney spent a great deal of effort to see that
this is exactly what happened. He made multiple trips to Easton and
convinced the local authorities to lock Cummings up as if he were the
most sadistic of killers.

On Friday, Cummings' probation officer did an aboutface and told the
court that he thought Cummings represented a very great danger to the
community. Outside the courtroom, he and the other local law enforcement
people crowded around Varney like kids surrounding a rock star
