Linkin Park Stalker Jailed  2/21/08

A woman accused of stalking rocker Chester Bennington has been sentenced to two years in jail for harassing the Linkin Park frontman and his wife Talinda Bentley.

Former laboratory worker Devon Townsend pleaded guilty to using government computers at her former workplace Sandia National Laboratories' technology and manufacturing group to access the rocker's email account from January to November 2006.

Townsend also hacked into a cellphone firm's website to illegally obtain Bennington's phone number, which she used to threaten former Playboy model Bentley.

Townsend appeared at an Albuquerque, New Mexico court for sentencing on Wednesday (20Feb08) and was ordered to turn herself in to a Phoenix, Arizona jail within 60 days to begin serving her prison term.

She is also expected to undergo mental health treatment while behind bars.
