DALLAS (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a 25-year-old contract security guard accused of hacking into computers at the clinic where he worked has been arrested.

Jesse William McGraw, of Arlington, is being detained following his arrest Monday afternoon.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says McGraw is the leader of the "Electronik Tribulation Army" hacker group. He worked for United Protection Services as an overnight shift security guard at the Carrell Clinic in Dallas.

The affidavit alleges McGraw intruded into the clinic computers that controlled climate and ventilation and those that contained confidential patient information. Investigators say McGraw planned a massive computer attack for July 4.
