No Charges Filed Yet Against South Charlotte Computer Hacker

11:39 p.m. EDT July 26, 2005

We learned more about an FBI raid at a home in south Charlotte Wednesday morning.

Eyewitness News obtained a copy of the search warrant which explains what they were doing there.

Agents raided William Bailey's Ballantyne Area home in the Raeburn Community late last week.

The government claims Bailey hacked into the American College of Physicians Web site thousands of times to access records and downloading files with confidential information on doctors.

The FBI says Bailey has his own Web site called Doctor-411.

It's a database that sells doctor's information on the web for anywhere from $399 to just under $1700.

The government claimed Bailey attacked the Web site from January to May of this year accessing hundreds of files at a time.

Chuck Krull, a neighbor who lives across the street, is looking for answers.

"I saw five unmarked cars and a sheriff's car and they were taking plastic bags out full of paper and what have you," Krull said.

The search warrant says the fbi is investigating William Bailey who lives in the house.

"I know he has a business on the internet, no idea what kind, but he conducts himself well in the neighborhood, that's what i know," said Krull.

Bailey said Tuesday night his attorney would not allow him to talk about the raid.
