Jodie Foster stalker is arrested
The 42-year-old man, named as Michael Smegal, was arrested yesterday on charges of mailing a bomb threat to a Los Angeles airport.
According to Reuters, Smegal was charged in a US District Court in Massachusetts with mailing a threatening letter to Van Nuys Airport in early December.
The letter was one of more than 100 nearly identical letters with references to Foster mailed to celebrities, business executives, airports and other locations around Los Angeles from September 2007 to January 2008, an affidavit said.
Foster began to receive threatening letters in 2004. In 2005 Smegal admitted to police he had sent the letters and promised to stop.
If convicted Smegal faces up to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

Ticket holders for cancelled Redfest offered alternative festival
Standon Calling takes place on August 1-3 in the grounds of a manor house in Hertfordshire, and Redfest punters can either exchange their tickets for a two-day pass to it, or upgrade their ticket through G Tickets for a full weekend pass.
Alex Trenchard from Standon Calling said: "We know from our own experience how tough it is to get a festival going so we really felt for Redfest when they had to cancel in their first year. We're really looking forward to welcoming new friends into the heart of Standon."
Matt Nichols from Redfest welcomed the offer, saying: "With Standon Calling, people will have the chance to see some of the same bands in a similarly intimate festival setting. We also really like their whole ethos and it's a great opportunity for Redfest ticket holders to enjoy the same type of independent event they were really looking forward to."
Bands playing at Standon Calling include Super Furry Animals, Mystery Jets, The Maccabees, Glasvegas, Late Of The Pier and Florence & The Machine.
