Via CBS5.com.

A former intern to a San Jose council member has been arrested for allegedly hacking into the city's e-mail system more than 100 times.

Eric Abraham Hernandez faces a felony charge that he broke into the e-mail system to look for political dirt to spread about the girlfriend of his former boss, San Jose Councilman Sam Liccardo.

Police say the 18-year-old Hernandez was arrested at the San Jose home he shares with his parents.

Prosecutors say he could be sentenced to three years in prison if convicted of the felony charge of unlawfully taking, copying and using computer data.
