Lamo, 22, turned himself in at the U.S. courthouse in Sacramento, Calif., ending a five-day manhunt during which FBI agents staked out his family's home in the Sacramento suburbs and his defense attorney painstakingly negotiated terms of the surrender with federal prosecutors.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott said Lamo appeared at 2 p.m. PT before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory Hollows and was released to his parents after they posted a $250,000 bond. Lamo is not allowed to use a computer and must "report to the FBI in New York City" on Thursday morning to face a formal arraignment in court there, the spokeswoman said.

Since last week, Lamo and his defense attorney have stressed that he was willing to cooperate with federal police if they revealed the contents of a sealed complaint that described the charges. "The only reason that I hadn't come in before now was lack of communication," Lamo said in a telephone interview late Monday evening. "Communication has been good today, and as such, there's no compelling reason not to go in...I want to come in as a show of good faith."
