Student charged with wiretapping

Hanover Police arrested Kimberly Akers, a student at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration, yesterday afternoon for allegedly placing two voice-activated tape recorders on a telephone in a Hanover apartment without the owner's consent.

Akers is charged with two counts of interception of oral and wire communications.

Both charges are Class B felonies.

Akers declined to comment on her arrest.

According to a press release, Hanover Police investigated the apartment after the victim located one of the recording devices.

Akers was released on $1,000 bail and her court date was set for April 12.

Possible penalties for a Class B felony include jail time of one to seven years and any other sentence a judge deems appropriate. There is no limit to the fine a judge can levy.

The arresting officers, Rick Paulsen and Jeff Fleury, also could not be reached for comment.
