Mendte rumored to be making a federal court appearance today

A throng of media are gathered outside the federal court house at 6th and Market streets following up on a tip that axed CBS3 anchor

Larry Mendte

will be making a court appearance today related to the federal investigation over whether he hacked into former colleague

Alycia Lane

's e-mails. Last week another congregation of press assembled outside the courthouse over a similar tip, and while we're not sure there's anything to today's hullaballoo, we are certain Mendte is media-savvy enough to capitalize on a slow holiday weekend if he knew he would make headlines. Mendte, his attorney

Michael Schwartz

and the federal prosecutor assigned to his case did not return requests for comment this morning.

UPDATE:

It's 9:32 AM and we can tell you this is a false alarm. We hope the pack of press are reading this post.
