Adrian Lamo, the so-called "homeless hacker" responsible for a series of high-profile electronic intrusions over the last two years, is negotiating a surrender with the FBI over criminal charges.

Lamo, 22, said his attorney is talking with the U.S. Attorney's office in New York City over unspecified allegations of criminal misconduct. On Thursday, FBI agents showed up at his parents' home in Sacramento, Calif., Lamo said in a telephone interview Friday evening during which he would not disclose his location.

"They went to my parents' house to try to find me there," Lamo said. "Since then I've been told they're looking for me. But I've had no direct contact with them."

Mary French, a deputy public defender in Sacramento who is representing Lamo, provided a statement that said: "We have confirmed that there is a sealed complaint from the Southern District of New York and a federal arrest warrant for him."
