Cook added that the two-way radio, found later in the possession of Headline's uncle, had been programmed with the frequencies of 22 agencies.
On Thursday, the sheriff said, Headline was charged with interference with emergency communications, a felony, for incidents between July 1 and Aug. 31, and for falsely reporting a crime, a misdemeanor, for the kidnapping hoax Aug. 31.
If he is convicted, Cook said, authorities may seek restitution for the search costs: "I'd bet you're pushing $20,000," the sheriff said.
