A long sought drug dealer was tracked down and eventually caught while he was playing the popular online game World of Warcraft. Alfred Hightower, thought he was able to escape the clutches of the law by hiding in Canada. He is wanted by Indiana's Howard County Sheriff's Department which issued a warrant for his arrest due to his dealings on controlled substances.
The authorities were able to stumble upon his addiction to the game and thus issued a subpoena to Blizzard Entertainment which owns World of Warcraft. Blizzard cooperated and gave Hightower's account history, IP address, screen name, billing address and preferred game server. One Google Earth search later, and Canadian authorities had apprehended Hightower in Ottowa, Ontario.
